Research. It's a relatively simple setup with relatively easy to control properties, that does something really fucking weird. It offers a window into the behavior of other poorly understood superconductors, and that offers the eventual chance of higher temperature or higher magnetic flux superconductors. Either would be revolutionary - room temperature superconductors have obvious applications, but higher flux superconductors would allow better, smaller, cheaper stellarators and tokamaks - opening the door for fusion power.
