What is the real-world use case for NFTs?

I understand that the whole copyright/proof of ownership is utility enough on it's own, however for those who see a broader future for this type of technology, I was curious to get some insight into what some of the potential benefits are thay may be brought about by the further development of this technology. Thus far, my only exposure to these things are gifs, pictures, and those atrociously priced reddit Snoo NFTs that were sold for tens of thousands of dollars. Beyond a means through which to validate ownership of something, what more is there to the tech that might be worth looking forward to?
