An application that is useful and worthhile (and allowed everywhere, I
guess), besides emergency situations when everything is allowed, is
environment monitoring. Collecting data that are made publicly available
for anyone to use. Important but not that much data. Upstream
connections from remotely located sensor networks.

Right. But if I use ham frequencies, I still have problem #1 that I
mentioned, which is that I can't freely communicate with anyone other than a
local ham who has also installed the same custom stuff. And that population
is very, VERY small. See:
Part 97.109(e)
Part 97.115
Part 97.219
So that rules out pretty much all inbound traffic over amateur frequencies
from all 3rd parties and, to the usual extent, outbound traffic to some 3rd
parties -- those in countries where we don't have the right agreements in
place.
So, what applications can I run over ham frequencies?
Can I create an email gateway that automatically forwards inbound email from
the Internet over ham frequencies? No. (That's why WL2K has the
limitations is has.)
Can I put up a web server that forwards inbound traffic from the Internet
over ham frequencies? No.
..., etc., etc.
