I imagine there are some. Some folks might not want to itemize particular deductions because they feel it is not worth the effort. Others might have borderline cases of eligibility and not feel it is worth the risk of an audit. I personally know people that take deductions I never would because I think they are 'iffy'. I also imagine there are some who play the odds, claiming illegitimate deductions because they consider it worth the risk. But I take it from your response that you are pretty much in agreement with what StroudCrowd wrote below your post, or am I wrong?
