Normal human here, can someone speculate on potential industrial uses?

Nobody expects noting. No reason to expect anything whatsoever.

The particle is incredibly short-lived, requires a massive particle accelerator to create, and is hard to detect.

This is just another high-energy physics experiment. The hope is that someday something comes out that does not fit into existing models and is a sign of new physics.

Too early for that, though does open up other science that may well. Might finally pave the way for gravity shields, food replictor...or nothing.

The aspect that this tetraquark breaks down into something with more mass will certainly be interesting for study.
