I've heard many podcasts and read many posts that describe the need for this yet not with blockchains and crypto. I don't get ignoring technology that is perfectly suitable for this just because it's been used for things that you don't like or agree with. It's like not wanting to use AI because it can be used for deep fakes or not wanting to use nuclear power because it can be used to make nuclear weapons.

Crypto in the cryptocurrency sense generally tends to get conflated with block chain, and speaking candidly, block chain does not handle large app scale. Consider iMessage, 2016 era. 200k messages per second, and only increased since then, but no new public figures exist. No block chain can offer 200k raw transactions per second, and the ones that claim they do are sacrificing to the point of being effectively centralized (e.g. a validator set size of 10)

Oh I agree 100% Blockchains have a very specific set of use cases and don't scale to what's necessary for many applications such as messaging. Nevertheless, certain things such as accounts, registers and other such elements can be tied to a blockchain, basically FC's "sufficiently decentralized" approach or at least use key pairs to sign data for attestation, provenance and other purposes.
