D-Wave is great at solving issues that directly map to what it is physically solving i.e approximating the state of lowest energy of some entangled (sparse) lattice with fixed topology.
The point is, what if certain problems can be mapped to it such that business value could come out of it?
So far this hasn't been a thing, but at least it can do something non-trivial. There's no other quantum computing device that is as close to attaining real-world usefulness than D-Wave.
