Yes.
And I do use this option. And you are not guaranteed to be thrown out all the time as the OP is stating. If you go off of the text when the option is presented to you, and you factor in how deep the ball is, who the runner is and who is throwing the ball you are able to make smart (or at least justifiable decisions) in those situations.
What I always say when it comes to this type of thing is you MUST go off the text and not off the visuals. The outfielder trying to throw your runner out could visually be on the warning track, but if the text says the ball is shallow you need to trust the text..... that can be misleading for a lot of people.
