I thought most of it might be, but this is a little out of hand:

First, the H is the only place I've ever seen something as big as 3-20 spread almost entirely in $1 chips. 150 or 200 chip pots are not that rare.
Second, I can't remember the last time someone put a $5 chip in the pot in the 6/12 Big O. It plays almost entirely in green ($2).
Third, it's hard to be a bigger fan of many chips on the table than me. 4-chip/8-chip is what they play in heaven. Stacking a 150 chip pot is glorious.
Fourth, it's still a horrible idea for 3-100 or higher. Stacking a 300 chip pot is absurd.
Also, the Rock in the 3-100 effectively serves as a third blind. Even better, people misplay trying to attack or defend the Rock. It's really not worth very much, probably less than $10, because you have to put it in UTG. I'm tightening way up to attack or defend the blinds when the Rock is in play, but many people keep the same ranges.
Opening to $40 on the button with 87o so you can take down $4 in unrestricted chips and the $15 piece of **** has got to be awful.
So if most players played well, the Rock would be horrible for action, but in practice it's great for action.
