Why there are rarely any further discussion on Boolean lattice in topology and algebra?

Here is the definition for Boolean lattice, or Boolean algebra.

I've seen several results about how one can represent a Boolean lattice from a certain structure, or to verify a Boolean lattice can be constructed given proper operations. Here are some examples:

(Stone's theorem) Every Boolean lattice is isomorphic to the lattice of open-and-closed subsets of some compact Hausdorff space.

We can form a Boolean lattice structure in a topological space, for example,

The set of all regular open sets forms a Boolean lattice with proper-defined operations,

(the full definition can be found here) and

The set of topologies on a set $X$ form a complete, complemented lattice.

When we define the fundamental group on a topological space $X$ we associate a functor between the category of Top* and Grp in order to classify spaces. Zariski topology, defined on the set of all prime ideals in a commutation ring with identity, is also intensively studied. However, how come that I haven't seen any further discussion about the lattice structure in algebra and geometry? What are some applications of Stone's theorem, and what are some classical results about Boolean lattice?
