What does this solve that a non-blockchain approach (for example the PKI approaches we already have) wouldn't?

The root of trust comes from the accumulated proof of work instead of an organization. This is interesting because self signed certificates can be trustworthy if they are signed with the private key of the Handshake top level domain holder. I believe it will open up the chain of trust for devs to innovate on and experiment with novel cryptography
