> Why is the solution to every problem "blockchain" these days?

That is a trope and is no longer true. If you say blockchain is the solution you get laughed at.

Being laughed at doesn't seem to stop people from trying to solve problems by throwing more blockchain at it.
From my PoV blockchain can be the solution for a lot of things, but is not suited for most of these problems. It is "just" a technology like any other, but with a focus on trust in decentralized systems. If you need this then blockchain could be a good solution, but this does not mean that it fit your needs in transaction speed etc.
