Gives us an idea of what we might be able to mine and make use of on asteroids.

Earth First! We'll mine the other planets later!

“What is the point of these minerals?”

There is no point. They exist. Up to mankind to discover if they might be useful in chip technologies, etc.

Like asking, "What is the point of this lone boulder, resting on a pile of scree, at the bottom of a mountain in West Antarctica?"

Inanimate objects don't have "points."

Now, if you were to ask about the significance to the science of Mineralogy, or about the impact on our society, of these two minerals...

Regards,
