It did catch on, pretty much everything that supported RSS also supported Atom.

It's just that they both fell out of fashion when social media decided they prefer to keep their users captive than accepting interop.

I've never seen an Atom formatted podcast. NYTimes and WSJ each have a whole page devoted to their RSS feeds, I've never seen an Atom feed from either of them. It caught on sorta but didn't get the traction of what it was designed to replace. (Not saying this makes it Bad, btw.)
