Other than cryptography? Like, you see a use-case for it there? Please do educate me! IMO there's nothing there. It's a barren landscape. The desert is more alive.

Haha, I was more so meaning that cryptography depends on the actual existence of hard problem instances, which appears to be the case but hasn’t been conclusively proved.
