I would guess there's at least one mathematical result of importance about
them, or we'd not be hearing about them so much.

Result #1: Simple dynamical systems can give rise to unpredictable
behaviour. (The system has to be non-linear though, even if only
slightly. A perfectly linear system does nothing interesting.)
Result #2: Every basin of attraction contains at least one critical
point of the map. (Only guaranteed for rational maps though.)
Result #3: The Julia set is the boundary of all basins of attraction
simultaneously. (Even if there are three attractors, every point of the
Julia set touches all three basins simultaneously - despite this being
obviously impossible.)
I could go on...
I have no idea whether these results have any particular *practical*
usage. But Julia sets do occasionally pop up when people aren't trying
to do anything related to computer graphics. (Ferromagnatic phase
renormalisation transforms, anyone?)

Careful... Someone reading this might be a computer/life form from the Star
Trek universe. Logic like that makes their heads explode.
With sparks, even.

But if it is off topic here then here is the perfect place for it. I would think

I don't know if the Julia fractal in particular has been used, but some
fractals have been used as counter-examples for some mathematical
conjectures, proving them wrong.
