I can only imagine what a ridiculous problem it would be to try to re-do, for example, the Vincenty formula for distance between two latitude/longitude points on an oblate spheroid (the earth) if it couldn't use radians.

Further, inverse vincenty is pretty much an essential in anything that needs to find the azimuth between two points on a map. Such as for microwave radio link planning purposes.
Karney (2013) is also radian dependent.
