Do you have any idea why people tend to not using it, because it seems to my like a 1st small defence against unpack, just 1 extra step someone has to take to unpack the file ?

Also are those tricks available to "the public" or are those 4 internal use only, inventing/finding out the same thing again while maybe 10 other people already have done it does`nt seem so usefull to me, on the other hand you can learn from finding out stuff yourselfs.
