It was closer to being true (though I’d still not have characterized it as “approximate nobody”) when you didn’t need passports for travel to Canada, Mexico, and IIRC many Caribbean cruises. That change increased rates of passport-having a ton.
If you are driving to Canada or Mexico rather than flying, you don't need a passport. An enhanced driver's license will work.
Currently only Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, and Washington offer enhanced driver's licenses, which also function as Real ID driver's licenses.
