Agreed here on the street aspect. Definitely a big plus on hills, or even in general holding the bike on any incline or decline while stopped (so you don't have to hold the front brake while at a stop light for example).
{Hills what hills??? The only hills in Florida are landfills}
On the track, it is heavily used by all of us when we make off-track excursions. Much less likely to dump the bike using the rear brake to slow down.
{Yeah, but I didn't mean off roading ;-) }
- maybe an advanced technique that is still more of a style thing than a definite time saving technique).
{Propably right. Style rather than technique}

Moving away on a hill, braking in slippery conditions, and making the
cage behind you think you're braking as you wind open the throttle and
disappear over horizon.
Not that we ever play games...
