It’s not still the early days of blockchain

First of all, let me say that I understand where you're coming from. I too try not to use the latest fad just because of it. I use systemd instead of k8 when it's enough. I use plain JS instead of react when it's enough. I run cronjobs that updates jsons served by nginx instead of building graphql APIs.

But there's a good reason things like k8 and react become overused for everything these days, because they provide a standard that works for a relatively large spectrum of cases.

The argument of "you don't need X to do Y" is not wrong, but it doesn't make X absolutely useless. Your points are not really invalid imo, but i think you're missing the point of the continuum between centralised and decentralised systems

I'm mostly missing the point in this continuum where I can start listing pros instead of just cons. There are fundamental reasons why we haven't reached this point and may never reach it, as I (and many others) highlighted before, and these haven't changed for the past 5 years.
