Does it matter how often it is used? If the weather or condition of other runways require that its used, its used. Its not used often because of the limited capacity a configuration using 15R (and probably 15L) offer. The 15s tend to be used in poor weather with contaminated runways forcing us there with only a 15kt crosswind.
