How exactly would blockchain do anything that a regular database couldn't do in this instance?

sharing the altered code. If you share the code and its invalid it can be traced back to your account. Which you can only create if you are part of that chain as a registered user. That fingerprint changes as soon as someone tries to use their account and tries to validate against the chain. It does not stop the cheater, but it stops it from spreading the cheat and it is easy to identify the cheater.
NO. Again, a blockchain is not doing anything of value there that cannot be done easier and simpler with traditional methods.
