In fact, when Tor was first being developed in the 1990s, a major goal was to protect intelligence communications. Military and law enforcement agencies use Tor, too, to keep online activities on the QT. Victims of violent crimes might turn to Tor to engage in confidential discussions with a support group.
Citizens who live in countries where internet access is heavily restricted use Tor to bypass those restrictions. Journalists, for example, use Tor to protect the identities of their sources - and themselves - when they're following leads online. Yes, shoppers who frequent underground marketplaces on the Dark Web (like The Silk Road and AlphaBay) use Tor, but there are plenty of other reasons people use it. For more technical details on how Tor works, you can check out the exhaustive FAQ on the Tor Project website.
