Transport category avionics upgrades cost $$$$$$.
When the wx rolls in at the hub, the RJs get cancelled first anyway so most majors don't want to pay for a capability that's rarely used.
AS sends OO and QX to Alaska, so that's a different deal.

The issue isn’t getting one new airframe certified.
It’s every airframe and every pilot and for what? Every hub has a cat ii ils
Lpv is great for a pa32 flying to a 4000’ runway someplace with self-serve 100ll. Doesn’t make much difference to an RJ

Not in the US at least. In different parts of the world RNAV and RNP AR approaches are starting to become popular especially in mountainous terrain where curved final approach segments are needed.

Almost all outstations have an RNP approach. All high terrain airports we use it, the only places we almost certainly never use it are big airports with a lot of arrivals because nobody else has it.
It was annoying because in training they have you flying RNP approaches into SEA over and over again, yet in all my years on the dash I never once got approved to fly it on the line.
