Offline translation is pretty great. Some image editing tools are pretty great. Games may utilise them in the future. Offline image recognition for searching for images (e.g. "show me pics of grandma"), etc.

It's not particularly widely used now, but the same was true for hardware video encode/decode, hardware accelerated encryption/decryption, etc.
