why isn't ripple being used in the crypto market for its actual purpose?

[European Central Bank]

the whole point of ripple is seamless and super quick transfers of different currencies. this is custom built to be perfect for the crypto market.

that being the case where are these ripple gateways? many exchanges like bitstamp have had ripple for years and also have the capacity to be gateways yet never in my life have i seen anyone here say they've found a gateway or used one.

what gives?
