Why go above 800? I get it, the beloved triangle, varied as it is. DOF? SS? 1600, okay, but going into noise? However, todays dslr, mirrorless, etc... we can reach upwards of 234,000 upon our sensors. I am really curious as to how many uhh'ers go high in their iso count, and for what reason.
This is a peaceful question please

To get the image that would not be possible at ISO 800. There are lots of reasons - some of which have already been mentioned. But the bottom line the basis for any exposure related decisions is to get the picture you want. Since, as you noted, there is less of a penalty to go to higher ISO, then why not?

Weddings in churches that don't allow flash. (by the photographer, everyone else flashes away)

When it is needed...2500 ISO, 20sec 18MM f3.5
Stunning. Something I think I'm going to try this year. I've always wanted to capture a milky way photo. It's my "holy grail"

BIF and wildlife in lower light and a fast shutter speed creates a demand for higher ISO's.

You're operating on old data. Modern DSLRs are perfectly capable of operating with minimal noise in high ISOs. Besides, you can fix noise, you can't fix blur.

I just got the Df about a month or so ago. I like it high ISO capability very much. In low light I can use up to 10000 or so and it's noisy a bit but not bad at all. I also enjoy using flash at ISO 800 or 1600. That way my flash can recycle very fast because it doesn't use a lot of power with every shot.

You say you understand the triangle, maybe you don’t understand photography?!
If I’m wide open, my subject needs 1/4000th to prevent motion blur, the sun has just gone down and NASCAR refuses to run these races in the morning....., what do YOU speculate my ISO might need to be???
Now see, that was VERY peaceful!!!!

Exactly. ‘Nuff said.

For me the high ISO capability is all about getting the shot. I shoot my daughter's in competition band and winterguard. I like to shoot at 1/250 sec to stop the motion. For the band I use my 70-400 and most everyone's lens in this range is f5.6 on the long end. This requires roughly 6400 ISO to match up. For the indoor stuff I use a Minolta 80-200 f2.8, but the high school gyms still require something in the 5000-6000 ISO range to get the shots. However, if I can shoot at 100 ISO, I will.

Sometimes it's just necessary in low light. Sure, I can see some noise above around 3200 with my Nikon D810 if I look for it, but I still get decent pictures that would not be possible at lower ISO, like hand held shots in dimly lit museums when I don't have a tripod. What are you going to do? There just isn't always a choice.

If you don’t mind, your answers here will help me. What is the highest ISO value you have access to without selecting one of the “expandable to” values? When was your camera built? And when you’ve used ISO 12800, what aperture were you using?

I am comfortable using ISO 3200 and I often do. I can easily go higher but I just haven't had the need. I mostly shoot with two of my 4 Nikons. D850 and the D500. The D810 will do well but I haven't pushed the D750 because that's my daytime walking around camera.
