I would think better clarity on where the middle class lies in terms of financial capability is actually really important for organizations like, say, the government. Banks. Businesses from a marketing perspective...

It's not irrelevant at all from those perspectives. One example would be, say, the collapsing US middle class and resulting political and societal upheaval we are slowly witness to. If you can measure the middle class you can keep an eye on social stability or social mobility, etc.
