The number of people who need to do B far exceeds the number of people who need to do A. It is therefore completely fair and accurate to say that, in aggregate, population-wide, B is much more useful than A.

that depends on the value of using A vs B
if A is used in the datacenters that provide the B functionality to users, then B would not exist without A and that would make A far more useful.
there are far more cars on the roads than trucks, but to say that cars are more useful, and therefor we should eliminate trucks would very quickly result in no more cars on the road either.
that's why I say that they are different, not more or less useful

I'm just guessing here, but I'm quite sure that most cloud storage providers do not use NFS, CIFS etc. in any way whatsoever.
