Gold is just as handy an industrial material as platinum, palladium, and silver. Each as special unique properties. Semiconductor processes use plenty of each. You just have to look at any high reliability part to see the gold plate.

As an engineer, I used approximately similar amounts of each material on older tech parts. Old tech can becomes new tech though.

It's only financial institutions and governments that think gold does not have much value. Strange though that might seem.

MQ's cell phones have precious metals in them by various amounts, and you can buy, sell and barter with these precious metals using same cell phone. It's not the nineteenth century anymore.
