An application must be applied. If no one applies it, then I'd say it isn't an application at all.

but the fact that it is not being applied right now does not mean that it never will

What may or may not happen in the future is irrelevant to my point. Water isn't ice until it's frozen. It isn't useful until it's used. It isn't an application until someone applies it.
