Some of these seem to weaken the case for blockchain for two reasons:

1. They ultimately require some kind of real world authority. For instance a land registry requires the authority to accept the transaction and then enforce it.

2. They're just using crypto

It would be interesting to see which 3-5 of these applications people think genuinely require the block chain and serve a need.

That's the extreme end of things. It's like saying that no application can ever be decentralized because developers are involved. If you're looking for a perfect system then blockchain doesn't make sense. But in that case the internet doesn't make sense either and we should all go back to pen and paper.
