as if that was an argument. We use the wheel for a gazillion o "important and f daily life" applications.

Great, you totally missed the point.

While the wheel has been used from the next day of its invention till today, the Fermat's little theorem had no application outside of pure math for roughly 400 years.

To be fair there was no obvious point, so how could it be missed? You simply wrote it's interesting without explaining what you find interesting about it.
