Bitcoin is nothing more than a blockchain ledger of who owns Bitcoin

Bitcoin definitely includes more than just the ledger. Without the miners, there would be no transactions, and without the intermediate processors, there would be no transaction intake. Without exchanges, there would be no value. Bitcoin is clearly a lot more than just the ledger.

What you described is just a blockchain implementation.
