What exactly are some of the use cases for an infinitely growing, append-only database built primarily so its largest users can rewrite history at will?

Anything where a trustless system is important. The “largest users can rewrite history at will” is a critique to specific implementations, not Blockchain.

Is it rewritable, or is it append only? You only wrote one sentence yet still managed to contradict yourself so I suspect you have a very meager comprehension of the technology.

Why does a blockchain have to be one big omni ledger? Why do users need more than one token in it? Blockchain could be used for login tokens for a website or for proof of ownership of software licenses. Yeah it’s currently flawed and used beyond the scale it’s capable of for things it’s not really good for, that was my entire point. Now the tech is tainted and reviled because of the grift and no one wants to touch it and explore what it could be useful for.
