Line 41:

The reason it is CURRENTLY hardly used is because it was used in the 1950s (the WWW did not exist at those times). Just because something does not have lots of search engine hits does not mean it did not exist or that it is not relevant.

Both incremental and iterative principles were born at about the same time and were used in large military projects together. It seems that the incremental part was adopted in civilian environments first (oldest written mention from 1957) and the iterative part was more widely adopted later (oldest written mention from 1968).

The military got the iterative part from other methodologies such as PDCA and PDSA. The incremental part was already in use for any large project since ages. So, it was a natural choice for the military. I have the sources but not the time to explain more or edit this article now. As a final statement, several Agile frameworks combine both. The iterative incremental development process is also called evolutionary."EVOLUTIONARY" I will indicate that, too.!!
