In that world, we should store that in a blockchain for more efficiency, rather than a csv file.

The whole point is for it to be disorganized and flexible. A blockchain is way too organized and rigid
otoh, a blockchain is also immutable unless you take out the entire thing, you can't just alter previous transactions without invalidating subsequent ones
You can't access the blockchain when the power + internet are gone.
Very true, and also true for the compared technology, csv. In a larger sense, the two are complementary and wouldn't be mutually exclusive.
