What I find confusing about it is that it does not match the execution order.

Perl is my main, and I never use that feature.

It’s way more clear and robust than a one liner if.

A for loop also doesn’t match what’s being executed. It’s s actually a do/while loop

One-liner if statements is another pattern I stay away from as much as possible...

I usually use it to do some pre conditional checks, or to return early

That's fair. I still use 3-liners for that.
