A lot of people don't wear them, but a lot of people do.  Personally,
I'm so used to having a t-shirt/undershirt on that I *always* wear one;
if it's warm and I'm likely to unbutton or take off the outer shirt,
I'll wear a full t-shirt (sometimes coloured, sometimes with design),
but if the outer shirt will stay on I go back to the good old
undershirt---after all, laundering shirts does them in eventually, so
I'd just as soon not wear out my favourite t-shirts if nobody's going to
see them! ;)

Forced to speculate, I'd say that wearing t-shirts or undershirts is
more common in areas like New England and the northern midwest, where
one is likely to encounter a range of temperatures through the day,
often unpredictably, and thus need to have a range of layers to deal
with it.
