Do blockchain people have any other arguments other than decentralization, security, probable future monetary incentive. These arguments although sound have become cliched, every whitepaper has the same arguments, same methodology, same roadmaps, substitute noun and you have got a whole new whitepaper. It's the lack of ideas of use of blockchain.

Ohh that business is centralized, ohh that guy is making so much money off it, ohh they sell user data, ohh they got hacked !! lets decentralize that business, lets make some crypto money while we can ( and unload it on suckers when crypto hits high ). we got hacked (oops) ...it wasn't us it's the underlying layer under the layer on which our "smart" contracts are based.

I don't care if zuck or anyone is making millions for a centralized product ..he should be he made that product. It was needed that's why people use it. Data isn't safe with centralized network, they misuse it ..heck i have got a choice to share what i want, i can control it. Maybe educating yourself on what and what not to share is better. Networks get hacked ..use 2FA, go MI6. Not everything comes with lifetime guarantee.

what if I don't want to make money off your blockchain protocol or ICO or early adopter incentive or what not.

I am curious to know reason other than mentioned above on why should anyone care about blockchain based protocols/networks etc.
