I use rg-213, rg-316, and several other coaxial cable types. They all have their place. Rg-213's place is not in the field.
One of my 3ft rg-213 jumpers takes more space and weighs more than one of my 25ft rg-316 cables. 25ft of rg-213 would weigh more than the rest of my field setup combined and be too large to fit in my pack!
