It is possible that you use this command indirectly without being aware of it, via some package or other.

@Mico More precisely, using$<a>$in a tabbing environment would cause havoc. If this is needed, it's sufficient to uselangleandranglein the special situation. Nothing would happen otherwise.

You risk that some obscure package defines something in term of > or define < and > themselves.
A quick search reveals that < is defined in
amsdtx.cls
amsldoc.cls
circ.sty
cjhebrew.sty
gmmeta.sty
greektonoi.sty
jlreq.cls
lhcyralt.sty
lhcyrkoi.sty
lhcyrwin.sty
pax.sty
AlProTex.sty
dev209.sty
The command > is redefined in
bxcjkjatype.sty
gn-logic14.sty
greektonoi.sty
lhcyralt.sty
lhcyrkoi.sty
lhcyrwin.sty
pax.sty
AlProTex.sty
sgamevar.sty
zxjatype.sty
I can't exclude there are other instances where different ways of defining commands are used.
I'd not do it anyway, even if it's not that risky. Better do
usepackage{mathtools}
DeclarePairedDelimiters{foo}{langle}{rangle}
(choose a meaningful name for your application) and use
foo{x} foo[big]{x} foo[Big]{x} foo[bigg]{x} foo[Bigg]{x} foo*{x}
for choosing the size of the delimiters (the last one is for automatic sizing with left and right, use it carefully).
If you decide to use < and > beware that inside a tabbing environment you will have to use langle and rangle because tabbing redefines the two commands for its own purposes (but just inside the environment).
