Although, I strongly believe there is place for half-squats. I found them wonderful in bodyweight or low weight setup with very high reps.
For a few months before my previous season of american football I prepared for the conditioning entry part with 200 half-squats every night before I went to bed (first 4x50, then 3x70) as an addition to my regular gym and kettlebell workouts. It did wonders and had no issue to step into the grind again. And I feel it as a success close to 40.
I wouldn't do it anymore but in the past as I recall (~15 years ago), I was also doing (for me) heavy half squats as I was afraid of squatting and the weight itself.
Actually I still do not prefer bar squat, maybe I am still scared of it after ~22 years gym experince. I am not hardcore. :)
