Think about it. It's a debilitating move that hasn't been ruled illegal. Why not take advantage? It's like the new oblique kick.
We all know that humans have as much dexterity in their toes as their fingers.
2 Forgotten (But Deadly) Techniques of Okinawan Karate

From the article:
Tsumasaki geri, or “tip of the toe kick” as it’s generally translated in English, was the original version of today’s mae-geri (front kick) – but instead of kicking with the ball of the foot you actually use the tip of your big toe, often with the second toe added on top for support.
Anyhow, tsumasaki-geri was the preferred style of kicking in ancient Okinawa, since its brutal effectiveness when aiming at vital points was flippin’ awesome, as made clear in numerous stories that survived from the olden days.
