I'm curious what the circumstances are where that would be worth the extra BOM count if you're already feeding the input into a microcontroller. Needing to detect extremely short pulses where you can't spare a pin interrupt? Something else I can't think of?

I don't think it is always appropriate to assume that code can be rewritten (or rearchitected) to fit your needs. Sometimes its easier to solve problems with a touch of extra external hardware.
