Brake-Kleen can harm/fade some paints. Do not use it on fresh paint as it will dissolve it. You also have to watch it around clear plastics as it can etch or cloud them.
Also it is different than the degreaser you buy. Degreaser is made to be washed off with water later. It is usually alkali based. Brake-Kleen is petroleum based and evaporates off. Leaving things ready for sealers and painting.
As for shops using a lot of it. Well I do too. If I am charging so much per hour to work on some thing I can't be wasting time fooling around with products that take lots of time to clean things up. An example would be a hydraulic valve body. Usually I can clean it up with a brush and spray parts cleaner pretty quickly. I do not have to worry about the cleaner having grit or other things in it. So even if it takes a can at around $5 that is faster and cheaper than me fooling around for 10-15 minutes at $75 per hour shop rate. Most dealer rates would be closer to $100.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
