FWIW, I use it all the time.  There are plenty of commands that one can
use in Info mode and that take a prefix argument, including an arg of -1.

We should not be encouraging the use of prefix-arg keys as something else
*anywhere* in Emacs, including in Info.

Of course, a user is free to bind whatever keys s?he wants.

Besides, `C-x C-- C-- C--... is trivial: just hold down Ctrl.
