It's hard to recognize, only using special tools (if author not says directly about he used PB).
But there are some for sure and even not only written by some hackers^^
I think even in my country there may be found such, especially as I talked here enough about PB in past years and probably popularized a bit, before I didn't heard much about it here.

There's has never been an issue with people having a plug at their own applications that's what the showcase part of the forum is for. The problem is we're a bunch of tire kicking code snobs and suffer tall poppy syndrome and or code envy. Maybe if we showed some more appreciation once in a while we'd have more people posting interesting things. The forum used to be full-on new things all the time. There are plenty of seriously smart talented pb developers who would post if the forum wasn't an echo chamber, give credit when credits due, cooperate, teach, inspire. We are really lucky that we still have a functional community.
The echo chamber as for me is a biggest problem of those you mentioned.
But I'm saying this not about this forum, rather about internet in total, this effect surely may be observed even on more mainstream resources.
That's a side effect of what is going on worldwide in past years (or if look at it more pessimistic, that's what we got as internet "evolution" since 90x or 2000x).

Maybe it's the dopamine seeking hits from clicks and swipes on our devices and social media turning people into narcissists.
The last few years has been tough on people.

Yep, and that's the
only purpose of this topic, to say:
"Hey guys, I found this app and later discovered it was made in PureBasic!"

I've just scanned part of all I have, this one found (except many those who already was known to be in PB), btw made professionally enough and signed as well.
https://www.pci-z.com/
Maybe also some more because many are packed and not recognized at fast scan.
Anyway there for sure are enough, I see active users in many countries (including pirate users) and they producing different things, maybe not much often some in public.

All the political and other processes, that all affects internet and anything IT-related for a long time already.
There is so much of this so I wouldn't event start to describe like this on-fly^^ Just say the current informational era is really the most crazies in whole history, unlike any more simplified periods.
