It's probably because you don't understand how the world works. Most things aren't revolutions they just allow us to good things more often and cheaper and so create wide spread "wealth". In this case imagine a doctor who isn't magically better than all doctors combined, but instead is the best of all doctors and specialists and performs very consistently and is available on 24/7 basis. It didn't revolutionize everything but I imagine the collective impact on health and lifespans will be tremendous.
