Binary trees are used all over the place in the real world. Pretty much every major implementation of a sorted data-structure uses one (usually a balanced variant, like red-black).

In C++, map and set are built on it.

I don't know world examples other than this one.

But it's large used for logical purposes and indexers.

Databases indexes. When you index a field, it is put in a binary tree for fast retrieval.
General Searching/sorting. A binary search tree will let you sort and search for data quickly
