Hilariously this is being discussed in terms of couples and gay men (who would still need the use of a womb anyway), but anyone can see that the real use would be for women who want kids and don't want to compromise with a man. The number of women who want to be mothers will always dwarf the number of gay male couples who want to be parents and I trust it's obvious that no straight man wants kids without a woman. It's true that women can find a sperm donor (formally or informally) now, but the fact that you are still dealing with a distinct genetic contribution from a male has both medical and psychological significance. Once men are TRULY obsolete the motivation for women to compromise will be further reduced which will make men even more neurotic and unappealing, etc. etc.
