Because stretchable screens could eventually mean things like decent foldable phones, smart braclets, smart gloves, or even smaller things like being able to embed screens into fabrics for clothes, curtains or sofas. All things that need flexibility that current screen tech currently cannot do.

This isn't a product, this is a tech demo. This could very well be the tech that makes foldable phones nice to use rather than watching a crease down a video. Or maybe even a smart bracelet rather than a smart watch. Smart watches are okay and all but their utility is limited due to their size. A smart bracelet could quite easily be 4 or 5 inches wide and wrap around the whole wrist, allowing for a whole variety of applications that are impossible on a smart watch and impractical on a smart phone.

Edit: Or even smart gloves.
