My dog walker - a man with a fairly troubled life and very low levels of literacy - used it to write product descriptions for an eCommerce website he's in the process of launching.
Part of me thinks the tech echo chamber is working the other way around here: a lot of techies who just know and and talk to other techies are all in a bubble thinking it's all overhyped blahablhabah without stepping back and thinking how it can enable every day people (whatever that means) to do things they previously could not -- at speed.
