In songs that are in modes other than major and minor, the V chord can be heard as somewhat less unstable than it is in tonal Western music.
...also, there is a vogue right now in certain types of pop music for ending songs on dominant harmonies. Go figure. The instability seems to be exactly what those artists are looking for.
