It is just one more addition to your arsenal, in the same way as the Dragon Fist and Leopard Fist, which are also taught in the Mainland Chinese lineage of WC that I practice.
You don't ask, you don't learn. :)
It is and good point, but there are Wing Chun lineages that practice it as they do the Dragon Fist, Leopard Fist, corkscrew punchs to the throat and kneck area; downward straight yang fist to the lower stomack/bladder area; hammer fist, etc.
I would only add that the distinct and not so well known, body unity concepts/training Southern Praying Mantis and related styles such as Pak Mei, make their Phoenix Eye strikes somewhat more effective than that of Wing Chun, after all these styles put more emphasis in such techniques..
