Yes:

I don't think a lot of users use this or would use this. It's more convenient
and easier to store data somewhere else (pastebins?).

Also, storing blobs is not a unique problem of keyservers, one can store it in
Certificate Transparency logs by issuing certs from Let's Encrypt or in Bitcoin
blockchain or even X.509 timestamping services. It would be slow and
inefficient, that's why practically no-one misuses it.

Kind regards,

Wiktor
