For example, warp shuffle can be used to optimize memory access in algorithms like light culling. Realistic use cases of the intrinsics in graphics applications are usually complicated. Floating-point atomics are used in VXGI to accumulate emittance during voxelization. These functions are just algorithms built on top of other intrinsics.

The foliage shader has an alpha cutout value and uses a texture + culling set to off (it is visible from both sides of the planes). For example, this is how a regular grass mesh would look when exported as fbx from Cinema4D into Unity. And it has just twelve vertices.   Just draw the meshes instanced - fast as hell but limited.
