I'd be curious the percentage of pilots that use FSS for briefings as
opposed to getting the wx off the web(duats). I fly about 300 hours a year
and very rarely call FSS.

In some areas of the country (notably the DC Area), you have to call
the FSS. Your not protected against the wrath of the TSA otherwise.
