Of course people use them. No one is talking about removing those
methods. You would still have the dump, registry and loadClass methods
for your use -- but in separate classes.
The question is whether they should all be in a single common class that
is loaded every request. My point in my survey was that there is
little/no need internally to have those methods always available. In
fact, I think the framework internals might improve if they were not.

Not needed by framework itself. As for my application I heavily use all
of Zend methods: Zend::dump(); is used when debugging apps, registry
stores links to configured objects, loadClass is used for autoloading
classes.
