Well in sparring/rolling/training it would be a foolish thing to do. Would I attempt it if I was seconds from going unconscious against a guy in a street fight? Almost certainly. There comes a time when you're in a guys closed guard and the guy has got you dead to rights and you really don't want to participate in a game of hide the spice bottle (i love bas). In those situations I can see why people do it. With fighters it might be that willingness to risk it to win for whatever reason and in a fight you don't always see things clearly, you see an out and you take it.
Other times it can't be helped. You're shooting in or you're tied up and the guy goes for it when you're in motion to take it to the floor.
