No, there is no reasons why in modern mapping someone would use it. Modders are more likely to just ask you to turn it off because it's more annoying than anything else
I imagined it'd be more of an annoyance than anything else in most maps, probably there are alternatives ways to deal with the things I mentioned, if I recall correctly osu! puts a 3 second wait time in early offset maps anyway.

While the default sound is not the best I believe that many maps would actually profit from a custom countdown in the beatmap skin that is tailored to the song in terms of pitch / character.
That's part of why I asked in the first place, I still think it could be a great styling choice for people used to storyboarding/skinning, it's an option in the
Design section after all, and it could be nice to see it being used correctly (in a way that doesn't interfere with gameplay and is visually appealing while in theme with the song).
