Forerunners to the modern Internet were useful from the get-go. ARPANET was designed to share data and compute resources between government and university labs. Two years after ARPANET came online, the first email system was developed on it. ARPANET had actual value and use cases immediately, and kept adding more.
If we're comparing the development of the Internet to that of web3 (or whatever they call blockchain technology these days), then it's safe to conclude the latter has very stunted development.
