I do it a bit because you can use it to fake failures that are tricky to do in the real world. It won't tell you the driver works but its suprisingly good for testing for races (forcing IRQ delivery at specific points), buggy hardware you don't posess, and things like media failures and timeouts your real hardware refuses to do.
