It's like predicting the success of the iPod on the basis of the Newton. What's the relevance?

As a commercial venture. Saying that Beta and DAT are still used professionally (not Beta per se, but Super Beta) is like saying that records are still a success. There was a time when DAT and mini-disc were available in every electronics store in 50 states. They were wave of the future. DAT lasted about 3 years and mini disc a little longer than that.
I'm just saying that's their rep in the business. I didn't invent it.
