The ISO 15924 script identifier, as it would be used in the Unicode Character Database, most definitely is used in software implementations to display text properly.

As a subtag in a BCP47 language tag, it would most certainly NOT help any applications display characters properly. In a language tag, it would have no useful purpose.
