SRT serve well as a first-mile contribution protocol, so things like delivering live video from remote field cameras back to HQ or enabling reliable cellular broadcasting over a congested 4G network. The error-correcting ability combined with a configurable fixed latency makes SRT very attractive for this type of production, and has been slowly replacing RTMP/MPEG-TS workflows in the broadcast world. I've seen networks where a RTMP stream did not work at all and switching to SRT worked straight away.
WebRTC seems like the future for last-mile delivery to viewers, though the popularity of LL-HLS and LL-DASH (and the ease of deploying them on existing infrastructure) is confining WebRTC to video-calling and some smaller applications where every bit of latency matters.
