I guess people who really like extra typing, wrist pain or spec files
which are difficult to read would use them.

It's up to you, but something like "%{__cp}" is absolutely pointless and
five shifted characters longer than "cp".  When doing package reviews
(on the rare occasion these days that I have time to do them) if I see a
spec that uses that kind of junk I simply skip right over it.
