There have been places where a dev chose to use a non-cryptographic hash when they should not have, because they hadn't thought of the threat model (out of ignorance, or just didnt occur to them).
But in most cases, nothing happens. They gained performance, or ease of development, etc. So it's a worthy trade off most of the time (whether they did it knowingly or not).
