The author writes "It is possible that OCSP will remain in use for specialist use cases—for example, in private environments where both sides of a communication are under the control of the same party."
This is for example the case in German health care. The insured people (and not only them) are given physical smart cards with certificates on them. I believe OCSP is used, among other uses, to detect expired cards (for example when the insured person switches to another insurer) when they are used at a doctors' office.
