Almost everyone wearing in ear monitors is doing so for a private monitor mix and flexible movement on stage. And that’s it. A drummer -might- get a click. If it’s a dance act, it might be backing tracks.
Are there genres where the audience doesn’t care? Probably.
Well, in ears are also good for voiding monitor wedge feedback.
In the early days of wireless mics, etc, wireless was really good at picking up police radio calls.

So I learned from Spinal Tap!
The feedback point is good, although on a couple occasions I’ve wanted to get feedback on a silent stage and…welp.
These days there are automated EQs that will notch out monitor feedback as it happens these days.
In ears solved the problem sooner than digital mixers without a sound guy did
Oh, the spinal tap thing was real. Actually, all you needed sometimes to pick up police radio was an unshielded cable
