> there are a lot of hidden use cases

Not much different from no use cases, at least from where I'm standing.

People compare this to the early 90s of the internet, except even then early internet was EXTREMELY useful, even with the limited access and content.

Wait and watch. You will most likely have to eat your words. Most people are like you - they think they know a lot and are not open to the possibility how technology can evolve and new use cases can emerge.

The early internet was extremely useful for getting credit card numbers and warez/serials/cracking tools.

It would seem we have come full circle.
