I remember taking a small university course on Ethereum, and getting an introduction smart contracts, trustless environments, and so on. We then heard about a couple of example projects, and were finally asked for our own ideas. Now, after learning a bit more, I'm pretty sure none if the ideas presented either by the lecturers, me, or the other students really benefitted from the trustless environment, which is mostly what you'd use Ethereum for, and arguably what you pay (a lot) for during contract execution. Yet there were so many ideas about what could be done using smart contracts which were really cool projects on their own. I think a big world computer with nodes that can perform calculations, react to user input, be called from other nodes, and exchange tokens and information, is somehow an incredibly natural abstraction that humans can work very well with. So, agreed.
