Eg legacy software, or because your boss tells you, or because of legal requirements, or because of library availability etc.

Those are excellent reasons but then you shouldn’t fight the language, you should go with the language/framework conventions as much as possible. Trying to fight the language design will only lead to buggy, hard to understand code, so either suck it up or get a different job.
EDIT: That last sentence is a bit harsher than I intended. I’m trying to convey the importance of professionalism in our work and remembering the experience of working with people who couldn’t do this brought back some bad memories!
