Most people don't see the benefit of being able to send $100,000,000 for $2 because most people will never need, or be able, to send $100,000,000 to anyone. Or $1,000,000, or even $10,000.

There are plenty other example https://streamable.com/i5r0yp

Technology isn't just about whether most people currently see the benefit of something.

15 years ago people were saying why would anyone need the ability to turn their stereo down by sending a signal over the internet, you should get one of those universal remotes from radioshack. Today we have smarthome turning on your lights and AC 10 minutes before you get back home.
