I guess it really depends on if you think the idea of decentralized finance is inconsequential. If you're happy with the idea of centralized finance, then I guess most of those things would be inconsequential. The argument for decentralized finance is more philosophical, and perhaps that is where most people are at odds with each other.

Regarding your second point, I understand what you're saying. I guess the benefit of doing that specifically in a blockchain/smart contract system instead if is you can take contracts that have been verified by others and deploy them on your blockchain and tweak the numbers and be confident on the output. Instead of blockchain, you could use any sort of "industry standard ledger/schema", but no industry standard ledger/schema exists and blockchains do exist.

ImmuDB was posted here the other day, it's pretty young but could be promising for businesses who want the benefits of blockchain without needing to use a blockchain.

Immudb 1.0 – open-source, immutable database with SQL and verified timetravel | May 2021
> Data stored in immudb is cryptographically coherent and verifiable, just like blockchains, but without all the complexity. Unlike blockchains, immudb can handle millions of transactions per second, and can be used both as a lightweight service or embedded in your application as a library.

> Companies use immudb to protect credit card transactions and to secure processes by storing digital certificates and checksums.

This explanation is available on their github repo [1]. It has been a common refrain on Hacker News that you don't need a blockchain and instead can just use a database, but this product may actually fill the gap where tamper resistance is desired.

Immudb 0.9.2 Released | Apr 2021
immudb is a key-value database with built-in cryptographic proof and verification. It can track changes in sensitive data and the integrity of the history will be protected by the clients, without the need to trust the server.

Highlights:

- immudb gRPC API now support streams

- API defaults to the more intuitive wait for indexing to complete, offering optional async behavior

- immudb now performs index compaction asynchronously, without blocking insertions.
