It looks like it's done to showcase the impressive level of skill & control that the pilot is able to achieve w/ this aircraft. Sort of like the Ken Block Gymkhana video series, where he's showing off amazing car control, but you would never want to drive like that except in a drifting contest.
Stretching the definition of 'practical', if you needed to tow something a short way & you had no pickup truck available, but somehow you did have a Chinook helicopter w/ a world-class pilot.... this would kind of be an option
