Every problem has a existing solution, but that doesn't mean everyone is using it. Another great use for Duplex is getting opening times for a business. Sure, in theory those times can probably be found on their website, social media, or some other place, but 1. there generally isn't a good standard all across the world and 2. there are dozens of problems like these and not all have existing solutions.
This is where Duplex comes in. It fills in the gap for the lack of standards. The assistant will still try to use booking systems if it can obviously, but when it can't, it's can then resort to Duplex.

And furthermore, customers are doing part of the work required for this. In that way, it's no different than typical Google product progression. E.g.: ship Maps with Android, get everyone using Maps, leverage usage share to provide features competitors can't (like real time traffic). Or Chrome.
