Default Do you use 3/4 inch drive sockets for light home use purposes

Iggy,
I use 3/4" sockets several times a year and almost always with my 3/4 impact wrench. Most of the usage is motorcycle engine clutch
baskets and crank nuts. I also use 3/4" drive on harmonic balancer bolts on larger engines. Several of my sockets are custom made.
Now 1" drive is a bit over the top, but not 3/4"

Just trying to see if anyone ever really needed 3/4 drive sockets
(impact and not), for light home use. Nothing bigger than a pickup or a
15 HP compressor or a small CNC mill like Bridgeport Series II type
stuff.

My feeling is that these sockets are only for serious equipment like
excavators and bulldozers. Am I mistaken?

The reason for my question is kind of obvious.
