There are codebases that use them (all of my non-Google, non-LLVM code does, for example, and I'm not the sole user: just a loud one). The motivation for this warning is essentially to catch someone who misunderstands/misreads the diagnostic of what's currently in D107294 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D107294>.
