The inverted L was originally conceived as a transmitting antenna and was
cut to a resonant length. It is still quite popular particularly on the
lower frequencies. As a receiving antenna, few people try for resonance as
they are usually after broad band operation.

I doubt if most people try to make their inverted-L resonant for a
particular frequency. However in many cases it does turn out to be
resonant (like a longwire) at some frequency, particularly at the high
end of the HF spectrum where it's one or more wavelengths long.
