I see plenty of usage in automation. Most domestic (US) manufacturing is highly automated, there's simply no way around it. However, for some parts of the factory, tracks/wheels just don't cut it -- think iron works, rougher terrain, variable terrain etc. A bipedal or quadrupedal robot could make lots of sense.
There's also military usage -- if you can build an autonomous robot, it's not not much of a stretch to use those same design chops to augment a human.
Granted, the last one is fairly speculative, but their market is composed entirely of B2B/G and those customers are likely going to get their own highly customized versions of the robots Boston Dynamics produces for a princely sum.
