Does anyone else invite kimuras from top half guard to help pass to side control, or am I just really bad at jiu jitsu?

I’m not sure if this is an actual technique, but recently I’ve noticed that if I leave my arm exposed in top half guard, when someone goes for a kimura they will pull me over their leg which allows me to pass into side control (if I successfully break the grip).

This surprisingly has been working really well for me and I’m wondering if I’m developing bad habits or this is something people actually do?
