They're still used sometimes for low level ancillary board functionality. Like, controlling reset lines going to SoC's, etc.

It's actually something that an EE may end up using in their career quite often if they're doing board design.

Though, we normally use CPLDs for that kind of stuff now, but if you can get away with a few logic chips, maybe it can simplify the design.

BTW these hardware glue logic is often done with e.g. TI LittleLogic series (i.e. 74LVC1/2Gxx) where you can use a tiny package for a tiny function otherwise not integrated into big chips.
