I've done this when I want the underlying command to be
affected in all cases. For instance I don't wish send out an
email until I've verified that I have a network connection, so
I advise "message-send" and "message-send-and-exit" rather
than the associated keystrokes.

But be at least a little wary. Sometimes the keystrokes fool
you about the underlying function. In my Gnus reply buffer
right now, C-h k on C-c C-c shows 'orgtbl-ctrl-c-ctrl-c'.

I've done this on several occasions when I don't want to mess
with the use of a command outside of a particular minor
mode. That's a less common case, I think, but still very
useful for certain things.
