this has nothing to do with "normal use". In some cases

users like to right

\begin{align}
        right & =left & =right &   &   &  \\
        right & =left & =right & 1 & 2 & 6
\end{align}

or 


\begin{align}
        right & =left & =right\\
        right & =left & =right & 1 & 2 & 6
\end{align}

which is exactly the same. Both are "normal use" ...
