“gotten”

Do Americans really use “gotten” when speaking/writing in a formal tone?

I can never work out whether it’s a charming hangover from mediaeval English (that standard English has dropped), or deliberately cranked up annoying tweeness remixed by marketing weasels in order to sound cute and folksy...?
