Why do most Catholic Churches not say the Nicene Creed anymore and instead say the Apostle's Creed? Through our Creed, we profess our faith.

My question:
Why do Catholics say Apostle's Creed more than Nicene Creed?

For example, we don't say Nicene Creed in Catholic Liturgical Mass or rarely do we say it. So why did this transformation take place?
I have been a practicing Catholic for 65 years and in all those years in multiple parishes and different dioceses I have NEVER heard the Apostles Creed used in place of the Nicene Creed except since the 2011 change made it optional for Lent and Easter seasons.  I have lived in Europe for a few years and
never heard the Apostles Creed used in place of the NiceneCreed there either.  I am puzzled by so many responses that attest to
the contrary.
