I do use the knowledge for more useful purposes. I had no clue as to the inner workings of a car before I played gran turismo, now I can actually figure out what's wrong with one from it's symptoms. I've also played hunting video games and gotten better at hunting.
The truth is it is hard for most people to take a mental concept and apply it to their actual life, but as the generations get used to it, it will become more of a tool. Already it is used by FBI and Police agencies around the world to enact terrorist/criminal situations to improve their response time, and it is used by pilots and many other multi billion dollar industries as a method of training.
In answer to your question, people do use video game knowledge for more useful purposes, but the people that don't are the same people that have a hard time letting go of the way they already do things, or they have a hard time of making the correlation.

It doesn't take much knowledge to play a video game.

Video games develop logic and problem solving skills, that are later applied to more useful purposes.
