Am I the only one who uses coin control as the default option? Whenever I want to make a payment, I start by selecting the UTXOs I wish to spend. There are lots of reasons you should do this over automatic selection. Privacy is the biggest one, as has been discussed already.
If you ask me, then I was not using the coin control until I knew about it. Even i may sometimes not use it for privacy reasons but it feels good to have full control over sending our coins from whichever UTXOs and it just creates a feeling that we know the most features than an ordinary Bitcoin wallet user. As i always check the mempool fee and manually select the fee, I will also manually select the address from which I will be sending the bitcoins.
Sometimes, you use the feature because you want to use it as it feels good to use it. I know most people won't understand or agree to me, but this is how I feel. Only bitcoin lovers can understand this feeling
