Maybe for regular "cameras", but parallax still gives the most accurate results for 3D reconstruction from satellite images, where it is a very lively area of research. The resolution, and surface coverage, of radar satellites is far worse than what you can obtain by stereo matching optical images taken by the powerful telescopes on satellites. I guess in other fields like microscopy it makes a lot of sense also. Not all imaging happens indoor on commodity cameras!
