Thanks everyone for responding.
The overall "trend" from the responses is many use Shaded drawings views to communicate visual clarity to subsequent downstream activities. Activities such as assembly clarification, ease of part manufacture (I.E. a picture is worth a 1000 words), communicating surface finish visually and just as a "nicety" for the shop floor.
It appears there is indeed value for shaded views in varying forms.
