It's not part of the instrument if you can avoid it by playing the bass drum a different way. You can't play the snare a different way to avoid snare buzz.
It was a problem with the advent of clicky bass drums (hard beaters and impact pads) on recording sessions. However, the same people who liked very clicky bass drums now like adding samples, so it's kind of gone to not being a problem again.
If I was learning to play again I would still try and avoid burying, as it 1) buzzes and 2) chokes the sound of the drum.
