They really, truly don’t. There are a few “pilot projects” so that the companies can tell investors that they have a “blockchain strategy” but the world runs off of normal databases.

The poster above asked for a use case. I gave one.

Frankly I don't give a shit if the market penetration of said use case doesn't meet whatever arbitrary cutoff you have deemed sufficient for something to "exist" or not - the QR code on the back of every north american bag of Starbucks beans is proof enough. Whether its more or efficient than a traditional RDBMS is irrelevant
