None of these are engineering or technical problems. They are all extremely complex meatspace-based problems that get solved (if they are even solvable at all, or even actual problems) well outside of the realm of computer code.

Bitcoin and Satoshi's Glorious Blockchain is, was, and always will be a solution in search of a problem.

Sorry i dont believe that. Its the only place it can ever get solved if at all. Putting trust in people has so far proved to be flawed. Again had you made eg waybackmachine immutable then we hadent seen recent discussions about who Said What. Again look at eg bittorrent... how succesfull have copyright holders Been at preventing filesharing...

In regard to bitcoin it works pretty well for a lot of things and not so much for others. Just as everything. Personally it served me well.

And Having background in lottery abd payment industries i Can tell you we are already using it.. current systems are a terrible mess Which Anyone who ever had to implement against visa mastercard banks etc can tell you All about. Private blockchain ledgers like in the mentioned corporations is already in use and even more in the future.
