IMO the salient points are:

Atlas is an amazing specimen for robot physiology. Balance, articulation, movement, recovery, etc. This is the real showcase.

The movements are choreographed using motion capture tech. These are not showcases of any type of AI, decision-making, etc.

That said there are real world applications even at this level. Think human pilot in a VR rig piloting this guy into extraneous locations (Surrogates, anyone?).
