Us nerds often forget that possibility and usability are not nearly the same.
Usage happens when non-technical people like editors are able to get their hands onto the technology.
The ML people don't make it easy to work with the output their models produce. I was playing with TensorFlow/MediaPipe last month, to see if I could get them to play nicely with my canvas library. The results were quite promising[1][2][3]. Still, I think making it easier for devs to use these ML models in various ways needs to be prioritized.
