I wouldn't say it's all that rare. In a mixed-mode contest it can be 
handy to be able to jump between modes and sub-bands just by hitting the 
A/B button. If you want to go to a predetermined frequency, you can use 
a memory, but if you want to return to the last frequency you used on 
the other mode, or go to a frequency you have pre-dialed in using the 
VFO B knob, you can just press A/B. In fact, I often leave A and B in 
different modes during normal operating, just to be able to jump back 
and forth quickly between CW and digital modes at the press of a single 
button. If A and B were always in the same mode, this kind of jump would 
be made more difficult.
