Everything implementation idea you touched on could be done without blockchains and would likely be better for it.

None of the drivers for why that doesn't happen today are technology caps. It's entirely the perceived (and real) value of data ownership and the lack of desire for universal integration not only from business leadership but also constant 'I know better' ecosystem fragmentation from developers.

Blockchains are just bad and inefficient tech right now and that deserves criticism but the endless naivety of the tech industry thinking that socioeconomic problems can be solved entirely by an implementation of a technology is just infuriating.

From my anecdotal experience, non technical users largely have zero trust or misguided trust in the technology they use. My dream from the application of crypto networks is to help improve trust in technology, and help guide the trust to the right parties without requiring all my users be trained computer sciencetists.
