I don't think it's commonly made by beginner modelers the way helloworld is with programmers. As I understand it, the teapot is more so useful as a pre-built model which you can use to test out different textures, materials, and shaders. It's not too complicated of a shape, but it has curves and flat areas more simple geometry doesn't have.
