How common are out of band management networks?

For those of you who have been in the industry for years, how often do you encounter out of band management networks? What kind of business (or what size of business) usually spends the money to invest in an out of band management network?

I'm curious because I've been learning automation with Python/Netmiko, and I see it's often recommended to have an out of band management network. I'm pretty junior though, and haven't worked at a business that spent money on one. Do most businesses just opt for a management VLAN?
