IDK. People do tend to do what they want. There's a pretty solid case to be made that we all refer to moral hedonism intuitively. It's also present as either subtext or a modifying factor in many of the worlds major religions. It's the explicit moral and religious code of a large portion of neopagans. It's all over our laws.
The general gripe with moral hedonism isn't that there isn't enough of it in the world - but too much.
