So, very, sensitive.
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?
