Treyarch gave Second Chance a use by allowing you to revive Pro users. This can save points in TDM and allow you to continue playing a round in SND, it could also be useful in headquarters or any games that can incur a dead player a long respawn delay. And since you die so fast in CoD games it doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
