I don't think anyone is arguing that you can. But most companies who want a ledger don't need a blockchain to accomplish it.

In your case, you're talking about no trusted actors in a very decentralized system. We're talking about walmart tracking supply chain and whatnot.

For a centralized ledger where you do have trusted actors, blockchain is a hilariously shitty solution.

I completely agree. It's almost like blockchains are only useful for trustless decentralized systems.
