Super/Windows key isn't useless... It gives you another modifier key. Since apps don't really use it, you can use it for global shortcuts without the risk of collisions with shortcut keys that individual apps support like you would with Ctrl, Alt and Shift.
Something that I have come to appreciate about MacOS. The ctrl modifier is completely free from the OS so, I don't have to worry about terminal commands causing unexpected side effects.
I absolutely love being able to command+c and command+v in my terminals.
