One potentially simple answer is: to make things that are otherwise illegal (for regulatory reasons) possible.

There are some instances of hand-built cryptographic protocols used in production at Google that use FHE in small doses (e.g., computing a single dot product as part of an interactive protocol), so the big question is whether having a general-purpose tool will expand the feasibility of applying these to other, maybe less critical projects that still want some privacy guarantees but can't afford to hire cryptographers.

I guess I'm curious from your perspective what and why makes the tech from being commercially viable, and the concerns of big players adopting this (which was always going to happen I imagine, but when shapes a lot of the future of the field).
