No GM play it proves nothing.
Maybe they prefer other lines because they did not like to learn the line of
Nxe6 because they need to learn a lot of lines to play it well.

Maybe the GM who like to play this line do not play the opening because they
know that the opponent does not have to sacrifice and they may need to
play a game that they do not like.

I admit that I did not investigate the position enough to know the result of
Nxe6 but I think that the same is for you
