libsoup is used all over in the GNOME project. It is also the
networking backend used by the GTK+ and WPE ports of WebKit; and
therefore also by browsers that rely on WebKit, like Epiphany.

It is possible that other networking libraries have wider adoption, but
for projects that rely on other GNOME technologies libsoup is a natural
choice.
