I'm not claiming it's a _common_ thing, but it's not hard to think of 
situations in which I would definitely consider it useful:

\version "2.22"

\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
    \consists Time_signature_engraver
    \consists Bar_engraver
    \override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
    \override BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(-1 . 1)
    \override LyricText.Y-offset = -0.5
  }
}

\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
  \time #'(3 3 3 2) 11/8
  Sun4. sun sun here8 it
  \time 4/4
  comes1
  \time #'(2 2 3) 7/8
  \skip 2 \skip 4.
  \time #'(3 3 3 2) 11/8
  Sun4. sun sun here8 it
  \time 4/4
  comes1

}
