High availability isn't 'useful' or 'common' to consumers [home equipment]; consumer-class ISP services would generally be incompatible with highly available routers (dual WAN/ISP on a single router is going to be more common).
I used CARP for HAProxy in lab environments, but that is as 'close to home' as it got.
CARP is useful for any time you need to take a service down residing behind CARP. Updating an HAProxy box, for example. Failover/disable the node you'll be performing maintenance on, which is >0.1% of the year.
