I'm not sure "useful" quite captures it. "Accessible" may be closer:
I've had explanations from computer scientists about how to solve a
problem in a language that's more limited, and yes the answer works,
but it usually requires far more cleverness than coming up with a
solution to the same problem in a Turing-complete language. That is, yes
Turing-completeness is often overkill, but it's overkill that makes
solving the problem so much _easier_.
