Looking at what is more useful is certainly a really good idea if your goal is to calculate and understand a specific problem. But I think you would miss out on something if you ignored the question of what is fundamental. And I personally am absolutely not interested in specific problems, I want to know what really is out there. Realism? Locality? Space? Time? Particles? Fields? What is really fundamental, what are just emergent phenomena?
