Lowly wheel chocks use.

Maybe I am old fashioned, having been part of a 50's airforce, but has Airbus become so modern that the use of wheel chocks before an engine run-up, or even being parked, is no longer considered "cool" ?
Does full engine power cause the landing gear to "bend" and that's the reason for not using chocks?
