It is of great use in a desktop spin. On my 'desktop' install for my
laptop I have many many system daemons running under a confined domain
auditd
console-kit-daemon
crond
cupsd
dbus-daemon
hald
init
libvirtd
NetworkManager
rklogd
rpcbind
rpc.statd
rsyslogd
/sbin/dhclient
/sbin/mingetty
/sbin/udevd
/usr/bin/nm-vpnc-service
/usr/sbin/acpid
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq
/usr/sbin/gdm-binary
/usr/sbin/hcid
/usr/sbin/smartd
/usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant

No. SELinux provides very real & important protection for desktop users.
