J, MAD is a two edged weapon. The greater the detection range, the less precise the fix. Counter detection would alert the target which can make considerable distance before the MPA can make a second pass, although good against a steel conventional.
MAD would enable an upgrade in detection probability and that a target was probably present at weapon release.
So yes, it does have its uses
