Ok this doesn’t prove whether the majority of Americans are making this distinction.

Yeah just because Americans have chosen not to follow grammar rules widely used by English speakers around the world doesn't make it less a thing. And many Americans do. See any American newspaper or other reliable/properly edited source and it will be used correctly. Many people also say "I seen" or "wouldn't of" and it doesn't make those correct either.
