 lol, bitfields very rarely used?
they may be used rarely but they are very important and needed,
whan you say have map of tiles, or big arrays of characters
you need couple of soem bit-size flags in them and you dont want to waste big memory on chars or do logical arithmetic on bytes
 for sure you cant skip bitfields

Almost always, code will do something like:
  if(val&FLAG)
Or:
   r=(val>>10)&31;
   g=(val>> 5)&31;
   b=(val>> 0)&31;
...
But:
struct rbg555_s {
   uint16_t b:5;
   uint16_t g:5;
   uint16_t r:5;
   uint16_t t:1;
};
Not so much...
