Blockchain is not going to make some traditional company rich. Its going to be used to build things like a decentralized, public web of trust that can be used for open, public uber & airbnb clones.

It's already trivial to build those clones without blockchain if users give up a small amount of trust, and that amount of trust is basically irrelevant to the overhelming majority of users. And the advantages of non-blockchain development, in return, are huge.

All those things are laughably far away from being actually useful business ideas.
can you provide an example for how uber & airbnb clones be built on blockchain? What would you store, how would it help?
