Actually, I use it only on sparkplug threads and connectors. And then I use it liberally.

Everything INCLUDING lug nuts. For those who thing anti-seize is going to make a torque fitting lug nut come off....youz crazy. Lol! After replacing wheel studs from rusted lug nuts, they always get the silver goop.
When doing brakes, I put it on the back of the pads, the bracket surfaces, the caliper slide pins, the caliper bolts, the hubs (like steve said)(I've had to sledge rotors off before...not fun), and the lug nuts.
Oh....EVERYTHING on the exhaust gets it.

Proper use of a torque wrench helps too!!! None of that "elbow click" torque works!

Learned that years ago on a motorcycle.
So do you take anti seize when you are constipated then :fart

my guess is that the magnesium in it gives it the anti-sieze properties
On the various steel fasteners (bolts, studs, etc.) which are threaded into aluminum on my Harleys, I have found that the few extra seconds it takes to use the anti-seize is well worth it - I don't need to use the impact driver as often for future dis-assembly, and likelyhood of broken fasteners is probably reduced.
The starter mounting bolts on our Mark 8s are a prime example of a place where I would say it is essential to use anti-seize. The size of the bolts themselves seems a bit small to me, considering the workload which is placed on them. It doesn't take much to break them off. Anything you can do to (again) make future dis-assembly smoother is a good thing..You don't want it to be a "snap' (pun intended)
