Spot on, Roman.

Most people selling "private blockchains" are just trying to sell a (hopefully) better database system to a customer that doesn't really understand what a blockchain is. Sometimes they are adding a messaging system to the equation, and sometimes they are just trying to sell another CRM system. But it's definitely not a blockchain.

Furthermore all this constant search about "uses cases for blockchains" is ridiculous. You simply do not go looking for use cases for technology - that's a recipe for unsuccess unless your business is to make money on consulting hours - what you do is to simply build technology to solve specific problems. As you said the blockchain was invented to solve a very specific problem: sending value from A to B without the intervention of a financial institution or any other third party.
