Not just that, but you also have things like MRI, CT, and PET imaging in the medical world that would suddenly not need liquid helium and nitrogen for operation. Scientific instruments like NMR and high resolution FT-MS machines will stop using all the liquid helium and nitrogen. It will save are rapidly disappearing helium resources and allow for that to be used for other things.
Then there is mass transit that can be developed. The list goes on.
Simple energy transmission. A room-temp superconductor has the potential to fundamentally change the entire electrical grid if it were even remotely scalable.
It’s hard to overstate how immensely expensive and complex energy transmission currently is.
