That's probably one use. I think it's mainly used to try and consolidate rules together. A directory might contain CSS that is clean, but the JS is unwanted, so the rule has '~stylesheet' as an option. There are *lots* of rules (I have 42k from easylist), so collapsing rules differing by a '*.js' and '*.html' is useful.

I have seen sites load URIs such as "data:image/jpeg;base64goop" presumably to get around adblockers.
