Considering most popular music these days is of the electronic variety or contains electronic processing. It all contains sub below 30, albeit rolled off down to 20. I don't know of a mix or record I have done that doesn't contain sub below 30. I manage it though to keep some headroom. Sympathetic resonances also occur during a record, which are.integral to the space, instrumentation, and position. It is generally unwise to put to much below 30 for radio as the whole mix will sound quieter compared to other mixes. Also if it's an old school dance master to vinyl, very low sub causes the needle to jump out of the groove. This is not to say the sub isn't hyped during playback as generally it is, to extremely low infa levels, and sometimes reinforced via floor shakers....
