Fun fact, I ran into this question early on while developing HATETRIS. From least to most convenient, the pieces in HATETRIS are S, Z, O, I, L, J, Thttps://twitter.com/mplblm/status/1096693863148867585 …

Public perception of the usefulness of the I piece in clearing lines is warped by the points bonus for using it to clear four lines at once (i.e. get a Tetris). Laid horizontally on a bumpy stack, it creates gaps. Placed vertically, it dangerously increases the stack height

It's true, the I piece is very useful if you habitually build dangerously tall stacks with single narrow slots specifically for I pieces to go into

Isn't that just good practice, though?

Depends how the scoring system works. Not every Tetris game gives the biggest rewards for getting Tetrises

Would you say the usefulness varies on tactic/skill of the players? And if so, would you say yours applies to an average player?

this tier list seems to rely on optimal play, since 1. the algorithm checks *every* possibility 2. due to no gravity, HATETRIS allows essentially infinite time to place a block, meaning optimal play is achievable anyway
