I used to hate those ceramic capacitors because of inconsistencies in their values. When dealing with high-frequency and temperature driven experiments, one must be careful and watch closely to these caps... a slight change in temperature could cause a dramatic change in it's capacitance... especially on applications like audio amplifiers with very sensitive frequency-temperature relationship , tuning the right values (capacitance) is a pain when using these ceramic capacitors.

Nevertheless, you are right

ceramic capacitors, especially multilayer ceramic capacitors or MLCC are the most produced and are mostly used and integrated to electronic equipment and devices which incorporate to roughly one trillion pieces per year

and I think we can attribute this rightly to one of the most crucial property of ceramic capacitors... SAFETY and it's Environmental Friendly.
