I'm all for live action shots, but when you're working through 70+hours of footage to put out 5 30 minutes shows a week, it's just more realistic to use CGI for scene extensions and scene building as well. Pushing that number up over 100+hours of footage doesn't make good sense in the editing sense or the monetary sense..and damn sure not in the visual sense.
you can triple those numbers (or even more) when you're talking feature film or long format shows.
Bones is a great example, I would guesstimate that over 50% of the scenes are CGI. Add the props and modeling to that and you'll get to 60%. Most people think the sets are real.
