For me, it is unnecessary (sure, it might make user input fractionally
cleaner, but adds nothing that cannot already be done) - and it turns
$'' from being essentially a single quoted string (once the escapes are
processed, which is entirely a parse time activity) into a bizarre form
of double quoted string, which needs expansion at execution time. That
complicates the implementation, and for the minor benefit it offers,
it just isn't worth it.
