You're right, it would be useful in that way if you could actually get a teammate to airlift you to a sniper point. Good luck, otherwise it's not worth it to buy one to airlift yourself.
I find Orca/Apache rush's very effective even on maps with base defense as you can quickly hide behind a structure and commence pounding with minimal losses. Chinook rush is also great, especially on maps without base defense. But it shouldn't always be chosen over the APC just because it's cooler.
