I have made some with the same results already noted - difficult to hold steady, difficult to see the LCD in sunlight, losing focus, etc.
I do like the ability to make time-lapse videos, though, and have had some interesting results.
I don't think it's such a big deal to include any of these little-used features into what is primarily a still-photo DSLR. They don't add any hardware cost. They are implemented through additional software that tells the camera to do different things with the hardware that's already there. "Mirror up. Shutter open. Read sensor. Send data to LCD. Grab a frame, crop it to 1080, send it to memory. Repeat 30 times per second..."
Yes, they had to pay programmers to write the software, but they probably outsourced that to India so it was cheap.
