Or does the expense of making such a swap negate any extended usage received.
Does anyone do this?

Some people "flip" tires to even the wear. This can be done with symetrical tires like a R888 or a ZII, but not with an asymmetrical tire like an NT-01. As I understand, it involves unmounting the tires, and flipping them on the same wheel, but I have never done this. I guess the economics depend on your cost of labor at the tire shop vs. cost of the tires you are flipping. If you modify to achieve proper camber, there is no reason to do this.
