That is not my experience. The times I've had to use the "w" type has been
in situations where I needed to gobble a user command that happened to
take an optional argument. And in those cases the reason has been that I
didn't use xparse. If I did I would define those user commands as
something like this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xparse,ldcsetup}
\InternalSyntaxOn

\def\MH_test_user_command:nn #1 #2 {#1,#2}
\DeclareDocumentCommand \usercommand { O{`opt'} m }
   { \MH_test_user_command:nn {#1}{#2} }

\begin{document}
\usercommand{uu}

\usercommand[xx]{uu}
\end{document}

Then gobbling is done on the internal macro when needed.

Perhaps you can think of other cases - if so don't hesitate to post them.
