It is extremely useful

Random use:
while true do
wait(0.03)
part.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(0, tick(), 0)
end

I use it for doing complex graphical things that rely on time

Rotates the part given the time, other methods can be used to do the same thing, but tick keeps things constant

Tick is useful for tracking playtime, if you don't want to keep a constant timer running
Tick is useful for random seed
Tick is useful for Time.DeltaTime
Tick is useful for determining real life time
Tick is useful for determining a player's time zone

Tick is useful for a lot of stuff. It's the time in seconds since epoch
