I learned a similar lesson when I was working on a product around two years back. I used to extrapolate current trends and predict why my idea could be important in the future. While those predictions sounded good in theory, in reality, it was just me trying to paint my assumptions as facts. None of what I predicted happened.

When you are working on any idea, there's a temptation to be a visionary about your product's impact. But nothing good comes out of this feel-good bullshit. It's better to focus on solving meaningful problems that exist today, rather than being hopeful that they will become relevant tomorrow.
