Which contradicts your claim of uselessness for the following reasons:
- less clutch power is sometimes desirable - I have used this exact construction in a GBC module to allow easy removal of a part for maintenance. The clutch is even less than a regular stud in a regular hole - that is, barely any.
- There are colours in which the jumper tile exists, but not the 1x2 plate (exercice left to the reader to find them; one is as recent as 2009)
So there, this is actually useful!

To conclude I encourage you to share your favorite NUTs (New Useless
Technique) in reply to this post

Well, it may not qualify as useless either, but I’ve contemplated using 1x2
hinge bricks in a fixed, studs-up position, instead of regular 1x2 bricks. The
reason is simple: to have a smooth-looking brick, with hollow studs on top; as
you said sometimes you need that (although now you mention it, the 1x1 brick
with hole would work just as good)

| ABT (Advanced Building Techniques) are widely used. Everyone knows for instance the use of a jumper plate to achieve a half stud offset (AZMEP) (URL) Another one consist in stacking 1xn parts on hollow stud in a tube to hollow stud connection.
