The first time I did that by accident, I was like "What the hell just happened??". It's very surprising when you don't expect it. And it's much too easy to trigger it by accident.

Today, though, I had a legit use for it. When I went into work I had a browser session open on my laptop from the night before. I had like 24 tabs open. Half of them were vitally work-related tasks from yesterday. The other half were from last night, and they were open to articles on health care and politics which I wanted to read later but which I really didn't want to have open at work. Solution: Drag all the politics tabs to a new window, bookmark all tabs as a folder called 'read later', then close the window. Problem solved.

So, it has legit uses. But I agree it's way too easy to trigger by accident, and a pain to get back to normal after you've triggered it. Making it undoable with ctrl-Z would help.
