Those things are a question of energy scales. The energy scales at which human life is possible are far (many orders of magnitude) removed from the energy scales at which gravitational waves could be meaningfully used, this won't change in any conceivable future. You would need to be able manipulate black holes to get even the tiny measurable distortions they just found, just by conservation of energy that most likely will forever be out of reach for humans.
The same is pretty much guaranteed for high energy applications of the strong and weak nuclear force like they are being explored by the LHC, although there it is less certain (quark gluon plasmas for example might be useful for something, maybe). Electromagnetic waves on the other hand are very compatible with the energy scales of human life.
