It's absolutely useful for drug development and pharma companies appear to be getting heavily invested in the technique. The problem is that they've been trying to use structural biology this way for close to four decades now, and there are still many obstacles to this that have nothing to do with the structural biology methods themselves. Biology is messy, human biology particularly so. There are success stories of course but it's never been a magical solution.
