I won't understand it, but can benefit from it in better data structures with proven invariants, faster algorithms, convergence guarantees for some iterative computations, better practical linear algebra and matrix factorizations, deriving things in statistical hypothesis testing, tightening upper and lower bounds etc. I don't care if some mathematician somewhere who isn't me "understands" it or not. It has practical use. I know that practical is dirty peasant word for many ivory tower mathematicians but that's their problem and I don't interact with them much, except when they throw a hissy fit like this and try to ban restrict matchmaking to their guild and ban the plebs from getting math from anywhere but them on their terms.
