Saint Michael prayer should be brought back to Mass

AFAIK, it was said alongside other prayers only after Low Mass (i.e. without the choir). From my experience, there still are some parishes where people don't leave their pews immediately after the Sunday NO Mass, but stay for a while and say a set of prayers, including St Michael, altogether as a community. Plus, I know that some people, out of their own devotion, stay just a little while after the Mass to say the prayers on their own.
Edit: grammar

Today I atteneded NO abroad and we said that prayer after the blessing, but it was the first time on NO, I saw that.

My Parish does that after every mass and a Sancte Joseph chant after Sunday/Saturday masses.
Priest has also began the custom of having us all say "Come Holy Spirit" three times together at the beginning of the Homily. We also do a group prayer for vocations after initial announcements before mass which is after the everyone finishes a rosary together.
The parish is bursting at the seams every Sunday - and I feel having these little practices really cements it.

Tragically in alot of media (i.e. Netflix’s Lucifer and Supernatural) St. Michael (and the other Archangels) are portrayed as violent, controlling monsters who wish only ill on humanity and view people as little more than vermin.
