No, it's  not useless.

What you *can't* do is to use a single operation only, and define a policy
on it with a <Limit ...> section and expect the rest of operations to work
like is defined in the "default" policy. What happens in reality is, that
your single operation may silently amended by a <Limit All> section that
works against your intentions.

So when you define a custom policy, be sure to include one or more <Limit
....>...</Limit> sections that describe exactly *all* the operations and
their (different) limitations, and add another <Limit All>...</Limit>
section, that describes exactly how the rest of operations should be
affected by your custom policy.

This works.
