Unless you develop flight controllers, it probably won't impact your use of RealFlight at all.

That said, tridge and other ArduPilot developers have used the feature to enable flight of several innovative VTOL platforms. I'm guessing their work has been echoed by commercial manufacturers. So if you enjoy flying weird aircraft, there's a possibility that RealFlight and SITL have enabled the development of something you enjoy!
