Cert Transparency depends on our benevolent lord Google to maintain the integrity of the log. Using a blockchain pushes that trust model out such that it's distributed across multiple actors.

There's nothing wrong with CT -- it's a great step in the right direction. There's also nothing wrong with exploring distributed immutable logging.
