This seems like a good tool to turn <60fps videos into 60fps videos.

Yep. I'd also be interested at least in A/B-ing this against current motion interpolation methods used in televisions. Does it perform perceptually better in blind viewer tests? Does it get rid of the soap opera effect? Does it have its own flavor of "something's off about this video"? All questions I'd love to see answered.
For historical footage, I could see some use cases. For cinema, I don't know why you'd want to do this. < 60 fps playback of video that was shot at < 60 fps looks just fine. Even if the interpolation was perfect, what's the benefit?
Personally, I love 60fps+ videos. They just seem more "realistic" to me, as if the person moving on the screen was right in front of me. Ordinary 24fps is okay, but there's a certain "not real" feeling I get while watching it. It's like playing a videogame that stutters all the time.
