Should it [waxing] be more popular? Not necessarily.
With volume comes great time savings. I waxed... Well I have no idea how many chains yesterday, but it was more than 10 and the working time was probably around 10 minutes. How long does it take to lift a chain into a pot of boiling water and then into a pot of wax? Not long I think.
Next session is in two months so not a bad amount of maintenance for that time period. When I still used oils It'd take me longer to find the cleaning stuff and get all the bikes ready for cleaning. And several times more to then clean and lube them.
