Is that even a strong point? It looks like its sole purpose in life is to support the radiator and maybe keep it from rolling off a tow truck flat bed.
Has anyone used this for snatching out of some deep mud or something?

x2 very stout point. I've used it several times on different rig and all held up just fine. I've winched rigs over obstacles with no problems from this point. I would use this point any time needed.

I have been towed out of frame-deep mud up a steep hill from an FJ with an ARB rigged up back to the tow hook...
Also have used my tow hook for EXTREMELY VIOLENT AND FOOLISH recoveries...
Maybe homedad can come in and talk about those.
I know what you mean though, about that part of the front end being odd. That part hanging down under the radiator certainly isn't very monstrous looking. Front skids mount to that with holes...
