Is squeezing SCs from the blinds a thing?

I started 3 betting a lot of SCs from KQs-43s when IP, mostly btn vs (utg, mp, co). Playing around with snowie preflop advisor, doesn't appear to squeeze or 3 bet any SCS from the SB T9s-54s at all. IP snowie uses 76s-54s & A5s-A2s very often as 3 bets, just wondering why SCs are not used oop very often. Seems like decent fold equity with squeezes and less of a chance of being dominated. Seems to 3 bet mostly 88+, AQo+, A2s+, strong suited broadways. It's a good range, the KQs, KJs, QJs, will be dominated quite a bit by the caller's range, but in a low SPR pot, should be ok with the playability factor.

Argument is we want high equity hands in low SPR pots, but we also suffer domination. We want to block their strongest hands, so we don't get 4 bet as much. Other side is with SCs we are unblocking a lot of hands that will fold as well, such as KQo, AJo, AQo, KJo, A10o, etc. Not sure how much blocking and unblocking factors into squeezes here.

Am I burning money squeezing with a hands like 76s-54s? 54s also blocks some of the 4 bet bluffs such as A5s and A4s.
