In practice, I am afraid you are right.

I can only speak anecdotally, but the total number of HP 35S calculators I saw in the wild during my civil engineering undergrad studies (just recently completed) was one: my own. Furthermore, I met perhaps three people who even knew HP made calculators. One of them was an instructor of mine, and my HP 35S was the first he had ever seen.

I ultimately stopped using it in favor of a Casio fx-991EX because the latter was just that much more convenient to use in my surveying classes. It's also the calculator I chose to use for my FE exam.
