There is no obvious benefit yet, they are just researching for the sake of it.

I think over time they will discover a benefit but the hype is obviously not warranted.

I guess, but benefits should be more theoretical. Like i don't think building one will give any insight into ideas for protocols. We already understand how it would work in theory and have for a long time.

Just because their work is not of immediate practical importance does not mean it lacks value.
