None of those are true when someone is selling physical products either. Cryptography at least gives us a chance to verify someone's claims.

It gives you a distraction from the real work they described. You still need to do all of that work, so at best the blockchain is redundant.

Indeed they are not true, but physical selling typically doesn't pretend it is.

Has it a better track record at doing so that e.g. a notary?
