Is there a case where making it visible would actually be useful?

For quarries or buildings disused/abandoned status is a property and is not 
changing
feature so it makes sense to use disused=yes and abandoned=yes.

Disuses building is still a building, only once it starts turning into ruin it
gets more questionable.

In case of shops it is fundamentally different - disused shop is no longer a 
shop.
If someone really wants to tag it (may to protect against accidental remapping
then disused:shop=* is preferable (and it makes no sense to render it in most 
cases)

Is there some trace of the pub (maybe sign?) or danger of incorrect remapping?
Then it makes sense to keep it.

Though in cases where no trace is left I would delete it (yes, OSM doesn't map 
history).

I would argue that disused=yes is preferable tagging for such feature and that 
it
is desirable for renderers and editors to encourage it.
