I don't have strong feelings about what the GP says, but:

Maybe you only use them so rarely because they're not convenient to use.

I use them rarely because my vocabulary is reasonably large. Also, given a choice of words I'll prefer the more conventional one.

For people learning, perhaps it could be a good thing.
