Laziness! Imagine ordering toilet paper without leaving the toilet! Hopefully Amazon will take the logical next step and have the drone drop my product with a smaller, indoor robot which can open my door via Lockitron and bring it directly TO me. Then branch out to fast food.
In seriousness, it has some utility. While I can buy toilet paper, paper towels, etc very close, it could be (for me where I live at least) considerably more difficult to find a hot new electronic item, a specific movie on Blu Ray, an unusual tool, paint in a certain shade, etc.
