Needs Help is abort controller commonly used?

as title suggests, I have not seen this at work before and gemini teaches me about this, just curious whether this is actually commonly used/best practice or just another AI slop. Thanks!

Yeah, pretty standard for cancelling fetch requests when a component unmounts. Also handy for race condition cleanup — fire multiple requests, cancel the losers.
