MPEG2 is far from uncompressed. no idea what the hell you're smoking there. there are also a whole plethora of MPEG4 encoders and decoders on the market as well. i worked at a company where we had our content in MPEG4 for several years now. besides, the author wasn't saying MPEG2 hasn't caught on, but only that there were extreme parts not in use by many people. yeah sure it's used in satellites (and has been for most video systems in europe for a while) and in many other applications just outside of DVD, but that doesn't mean they all need to implement every part of the spec. DVD will never need any of the corrections used in network streaming for example.
