I'm not saying it isn't commonly used, I'm saying that it hasn't completely consumed society. Did you read the difference between Brink and Decline?
Brink:
"Sports, bars, and any kind of physical community is hanging on by a thread"
Decline:
"Almost all of the physical world is gone and there are no longer any big-time physical events that can sustain themselves."
The net is obviously a huge part of both of them, it's jsut that in Brink you have to option of exploring other things than the Net. Even if you chose to have a non-implant character in Decline, then your entire storyline is going to be consumed by how the Net has destroyed people's involvement in the physical world.
Hell, even in Not-Very Dystopian the net is a huge part of society, it just hasn't destroyed it.
