I think it's in the eye of the beholder. If you can thrive, at least for a few days, with less than eight hours sleep then if affords a lot of time off during the day. You can be home with kids, work another job, do whatever you want.
If nobody wants them and juniors get forced into, yeah that's no fun for a lot of folks.
