Let's take another concept: Don't build your authentication on the idea of communication strictly through immutable cryptographic tokens (JWT). They do shine for resource sharing and caching though! So if someone completely rejected the idea of using cryptographic tokens completely, I'd say, wait a second...

So don't use blockchain to create a digital currency, or anything decentralized because it still needs a central authority to determine the truth. What is the actual use case then?! What app uses it successfully and solves problems that were hard to solve before?

I'm sincere, BTW. You sound like you have some examples in mind.

Why shouldn't one build authentication on the idea of communication strictly through immutable cryptographic tokens?

You can't log out other sessions, for example, if you don't have a central Auth point.

Anyway, this topic has been discussed to death already, you can also search in HN for detailed articles on the topic.
