Yeah. I have had several different courses teach induction, and nobody really thinks of the WOP. I’m pretty sure most of them skips the WOP when introducing induction.

I’ve seen it used when people show a proof of induction as a theorem. Sometimes they just take the technique of induction as given and don’t prove it.
