Use cases are sometimes formally defined, true. Often they're not. In
an agile environment, if you're doing it right, the use cases should
be clear from the user story and acceptance criteria.

Without a use case, a feature is useless. If nobody can come up with a
use case for something, probably it shouldn't be documented or exposed
to the customer.
