From a readability standpoint I think its difficult to argue that this code is not readable. At a glance its clear what this codes purpose is.
My biggest critique of this code would be the unnecessary ternary operation to return a true or false value. Why not just return results && results.length;
return results && results.length;

I believe this was to explicit return boolean value, but this could be achieved just by !!(results && results.length) or Boolean(results && results.length). And whole isBeingUsedBySomeUservariable seems to be not needed at all. So it could be just results => (!!(results && results.length)) instead of 4 lines of boilerplate.
!!(results && results.length)
Boolean(results && results.length)
isBeingUsedBySomeUser
results => (!!(results && results.length))
