I find it very useful actually. Excellent! When I preach Emacs to the heathens, my main point is that Emacs gives you an environment that allows you to use the same keys to issue *semantically* equivalent operations, even though those operations have different textual representations depending on what kind of text your editing. The canonical example is "M-;", to comment out stuff. So even though M-g currently is rarely used, I believe there should be *some* common keybinding for setting fonts for the current mode. It doesn't has to be M-g, but it should be there. It is what Emacs is all about. At least, as I preach the gospel.
