If you're questioning the value of digital receipts for monkey images I'm not disputing that. For me that's on par with beanie babies, postage stamps and other odd things people collect. I don't have to be excited about the current application to be excited about the fact that it works and what that means it could be used for in the future.

And of course, it would make sense that such a system wouldn't be used for something significantly important like property deeds or car registrations right away. NFTs are just another phase of demonstrating the capabilities.
