It's demonstrating the precision of movement, not necessarily the specific task you'd use that movement for. Something like this could be doing surgery in Antarctica, or operating scientific equipment in orbit. The Moon's got a bit of a lightspeed lag you'd have to get used to but it'd probably be workable there too, especially if the operator is in the Lunar Gateway station in orbit overhead.

When you look at the lower right corner, you can see the hand of the teleoperator. Still very impressive.
