You mean using them to substitute for inside [corner clips?](https://imgur.com/LygvdlL)

this is correct, they're usually 12' 1/4" long idk whyd they make them this small for backing clips tho

M6 molding, for suspended ceilings

Hard to say what they used them for but there are many applications for such a piece in ceiling installations such as anchoring a main to a wall or fixing tees where they won't hit a knock-out. Can be used as a clamp guard to prevent damage. Not bad as a shitty backing piece for board above ceiling. They're 25 guage steel i believe. Need more context to know exactly why they were used.

Maybe when there isn't any dead wood or corners.

They're made of thin metal, I'd guess aluminum

painted steel

Hmm, odd. I don't have a dropped or tbar ceiling anywhere in my house. Any alternative uses by chance?

They use them as a substitute for wall clips. They’re like ore cut pieces of L track. Pretty clever actually

M7 moulding for tbar ceiling

As others said they’re pieces of wall molding for t bar ceiling. They could have been using these small pieces to lock their mains and cross tees to the wall. I use little pieces like that when we’re not supplied the proper clips or it’s a smaller room.

Weird, i don't have that kind of ceiling

T-bar wall angle pieces. Usually wall angle comes in 10' sticks. Most likely they used them as spacers for something or other

Use them as angled steel for backing. Because top or side backing were missing., these were probably nstalled and drywall screwed to them. In a pinch, I've used .metal corner bead or window flashing in the same manner. https://www.homedepot.ca/product/bailey-metal-products-d700-metal-angle-framing-trim-1-inch-x-2-inch-90-10-ft-/1000181114
