Direct latch vs bottle fed

Hi moms! Im a FTM and I’m just wondering, which is commonly used? My friends around me just gave birth and most of them call it breastfeeding but they’re exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. I was pro breastfed- direct lacthing and intend to do till baby turns 1. But I feel like it’s uncommon? Why do people pump and bottle feee? Is it easier? Is it still “breastfeeding” when baby doesn’t actually get your breast?

I’m a first time mother. Now is 5 weeks old for my baby son. From the first few days after born him I try to latch but, he doesn’t like it and turn he head away. If I lucky only a few times successful latched when he in good mood. So after that onwards, I bump in the morning n night before sleep only. The rest formula milk. As my son under weight 2.4kg so he need more formula milk to gain weight. And now he growing happily just sometimes constipation due to formula milk. we have to use ru Yee oil massage him relieved the gas. Feed bottle still the best and no tired at all for me
