it's not very organized for sure. but in research, barely anyone I know trains models from scratch just to use them afterwards. In pytorch and tensorflow, you'd not even have to go to a model zoo page to use the most common architectures, the library will just load it on demand into a folder in ~. So yes, using and sharing models is ubiquitous from what I can tell.

Yes, I used `load_data` and friends and it is certainly convenient. I was just curious about a kind of open source market place for models, where you could find niche models that people train in their spare time.
