I've never seen it abused, maybe just because the team cultures didn't lend themselves to that, but I have used it in one or two places myself where it was very helpful. The main one that comes to mind is pre-binding callback to be passed down to react components, so that the exact same function instance can be passed on each re-render of the parent component and the child component doesn't get triggered to render

What are some ways you've seen it abused in JS projects?
