Always seemed like a massive waste of resources to me, especially with champion shards. Getting enough BE to actually permanently get the champion usually only takes a couple more levels anyway.

Do any of y'all use it? None of my friends have said that they do, so I was wondering if this was a common opinion.

Almost. It was put in place so that you can always use your content for something. Basically if you have 0 essence and 1 shard and you don't ever want to engage with loot anymore, your shard isn't completely unusable. But no, people rarely use it, we don't want them to, and it's not meant to be a trick or anything like that.
