Yeah, I know of plenty of use-cases for it but I have never worked on a project that required a secret sharing capability. I'm too lazy to make a product just because I want to use a cool algorithm.
However, during the data retention debate in Norway I repeatedly pointed out that the only responsible way to implement the act would be to use secret sharing to ensure that a sufficient number of parties were involved when unlocking someone's private data.

In that scenario the security officer can escrow with encryption the key file using SSSS . You could then distribute the SSSS keys to various executives who could use quorum to retrieve the escrowed key.
