Default Circular versus linear polarization

The majority of antennas used today are (commercial) circularly

Ham antennas remain in the linear domain (ala the Yagi and similar)
There are many reasons espoused in CP advantages in "point to point"
What is the main advantage hams hold over the more popular circular
polarized antennas in its "skip" type useage versus "point to point" ?


Please provide examples of commercial antennas that are CP. Space
communication antennas are not ok to include.

Please give counts of CP versus linear in commercial use.
