Yes, Gromit uses it like this:

If one side is ahead by lots of material extensions prefer moves that
may help the weaker side. For example more check-extensions for the
weaker side and less passed pawn extensions for the stronger side.

The idea is that winning slowly is OK, but overseeing threads is not.
