Are CB radios still used or now antiquated?

A CB radio was a requirement for a 30 day commercial caravan tour into Baja California that we signed onto.
I installed the CB in my truck. Wife broke her arm, trip was canceled.

It's a cheapie radio but works well. However, I have a magnetic base exterior antenna and I don't like it. I'm ready to remove the radio and forget about the whole thing.

(I did a nice clean install - exception is the antenna cable which snakes up from under the hood.)

Side note; there's a chance that we might do the Baja trip next year. (I have the itinerary from the caravan company.) Maybe the CB could be used then?
Is there much use for a CB on today's highways?

When I'm on the road I have mine on more for road information ie accidents lane closures...... I turn it down as truckers don't always have the best language
