Not true,. the ANY query has mutliple uses for consolidating multiple diagnostic queries into a single display, and also for diversion monitoring systems on small domains or groups of same. Not all of us have the resources (or time) of large ISPs behind us.

class "ANY" has no purpose in the real world, not even for debugging.  if
