> The reason of blockchain is to remove intermediaries
Not correct. Blockchain has intermediaries. They are just semi-anonymous and unaccountable.
The paradox of this is that if you don't trust any particular intermediary (evil corp, gov, boogeyman, etc) then how do you know they are not the anonymous party running your anonymous unaccountable blockchain? You can't and so the whole thing is foolish to the core.
