I'm not that au fait with the other cases you mention, but Helium is a straight up scam. No-one uses it for anything at all, even in markets where they have full coverage. This is because, in the real world, companies need security. They will pay a little bit extra so that:
A: The network works everywhere, and doesn't suddenly develop dead spots because Jason went scuba diving for a week and turned off his node and
B: There is someone on the end of the phone they can call when things go wrong.
No-one beyond those trying to make money of their tokens cares about Helium at all, easily provable by looking at their data record. "Oh....but LIME scooters!"
No, they ripped off Lime's logo and are BSing that Lime uses their network. Lime doesn't. Lime uses a non-blockchain network called Twillio, because they are a real business in the real world need the things I mentioned above.

Helium's only business, like every blockchain business that I have ever seen, is scamming people to buy tokens and selling them hardware. Oh, and lying.
