Ehhh, that's a poor take. The indirect benefits of fundamental research like particle physics are massive.
We all know about how the web — which turned out to have a few commercial applications — was invented by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in order to facilitate better collaboration and data sharing among researchers.
There's the advances in high-performance computing and data processing, medical imaging innovations like PET scans, fundamental tech for touchscreens, and so on.
And don't get me started on the motivational and inspirational value of science and how it encourages people to pursue engineering and other technical endeavors. Hard to measure, sure, but it's damn important. There's a reason the moon landing was the most watched event in the history of television.
It's difficult to overstate these indirect impacts.
Someone commented in the Economist a few years back that the last subatomic particle to have commercial applications was the neutron.
