No, they're going to be used by Google and nobody else, so they can establish dominance in the cloud AI/AI SaaS space using their immense resources. This will be used by internal Google projects to rapidly develop their large scale models and, if you're lucky, available on Google Cloud one day (TPUv2 already is, at least). Google doesn't need "developer buy in" for these to make sense -- they need better hardware for training and deploying deep learning models for their products, which is the overwhelming motivation. And, if they offer these to you, it's only because you're willing to pay for faster TensorFlow iteration.
