If shooting at unknown distances it is common to dial to a specific range and then employ mil-holds for stuff at closer range.
Further, if shooting for precision at long range, the mil-holds for sub-200 are pretty easy (and the 0-50 isn't a big concern), and it puts you several clicks closer your greater distance zeroes.
I put this firmly into the "user preference" category.
