Instead you trust the developer of the blockchain and of all the apps required to write data to and from it.

Because blockchain. Even though there are now dozens of instances of crypto developers messing up their own work.

Yes indeed, trusting something I can see and compute myself instead of trusting someone's promises. There's no way blockchain will ever be worse than just having to go along with it because there's no way to verify.

What exactly can you see and compute? The end result in the blockchain is the output of <something>, where <something> is any number of centralized actors putting data from opaque sources based on extremely complex contracts.
