This is the real enterprise use. I've worked on multiple Earth Cam integrations on NYC high rise construction projects. Honestly wasn't fun to integrate, and the integration (at least in 2008-2016 were all over Java. They might have updated since then, but the purpose was mostly for "toy" integrations so that condo purchasers could watch the construction on their new multi million dollar home years before they get to move in.

I'm fairly certain it was never really used by customers, but the executive team LOVED it, so any time the API failed (usually needed to upgrade the API client because of a breaking change), it was an all hands on deck and a middle of the night/weekend patch.
