“Rotating” in a single engine piston aircraft is commonly taught, but is a remarkably bad idea. A few extra kgs here or there can change ones whole perspective.
It’s pervasive, but it’s because the flight schools are teaching big-plane tactics to little-plane wanna be pilots.
”Levitation” in a little plane, is a much safer technique.
