As it is on the 'endangered species' list.
Helium is also important for scientific research, for example in weather balloons, and (in liquid form), for ultra-low temperature work near absolute zero.
I did like sucking it out of balloons and then talking on the intercom. It was good for some laughs.
But, like you said, if there is a shortage? Then I would only use it for medical purposes.
