Could someone provide me with examples showing the usefulness of
pointers in the D language? They don't seem to be used as much as in C

The only difference between C/C++ and D is that C uses pointers for both
"pointer to object" and "pointer to array", whereas D has a "slice" object.
C++ introduced "pass-by-ref" (also exists in D), which has tended to
reduce the (visible) use.
Actually it goes back to Algol and all languages in the Pascal family
support it.
