However, now many toilet papers are made of only 1 layer of paper, yet may be thicker and stronger than 2 layers.

People use about the same amount of sheets but they are actually using less paper because it’s 1 ply, therefore it’s cheaper to use. The price of a roll of 1 ply (1,000 sheets per roll) is usually a bit more then rolls of 2 ply (500 sheets per roll). But there is twice the amount of useful sheets on a roll of 1 ply.
