So if I had to write a tl;dr I would say that there are two economic incentives for neuromorphic computing:
1. Energy efficiency: More brain-like computers will eventually an energy efficiency comparable to the human brain. Consider that AlphaGo Zero used ~200 KiloWatts for learning Go vs. a human that uses about ~20 Watts for learning everything that humans can learn.
2. AI & Neuroscience research: What better way to test neuroscience theory than to physically build a brain? As the saying goes, if you can't build you don't understand it.

Another big advantage the machine has here is that the result of the AlphaGo Zero training can be deployed to as many go-playing computers as you like with no additional training.
