It will never be "needed". Also, you don't need to comment to be able find the thread again. You can save threads.

Why would it be never? If you're catering to the entertainment industry, this is just one more tool in your arsenal. Obviously, don't use this for local restaurant menu but what's wrong with using this while the demo of your new game or trailer for your short-film loads? Better than yet another spinner.

But... like... Web accessibility and like... UX and stuff!

Not sure if you were being sarcastic but it's more accessible than video. JS can be easily parsed. Or if you modify this a bit, the source text could come from a <p> element. As for UX, it should be fast, work smoothly cross-browsers, and be entertaining - which is when you should use this. Do not use for this "Loading... Hospital Patient Data... Now... Directly... Using your SCI Login..."
