Just by that statement alone, it would appear some of your arguments against Ethereum/blockchains are based on fallacious arguments. Fallacies are a strong indication there is a conflicted view being held by one or more debaters. Not all "blockchain enthusiasts" are gullible, but there may be gullible people in the space and people who prey on them. There may also be a large amount of negatively biased individuals in the space who only observe and comment on the behaviors of the last two groups. FWIW, I've observed both in person multiple times.
I always keep in mind the obvious polarization around cryptocurrencies when discussing them in public. I find it doubtful any arguments made with bias around the use of cryptocurrencies will have a serious impact on adoption in the future. Ethereum isn't used for anything important right now anyway, so any biased arguments made for or against it are rather pointless and a waste of good resources.
What will affect the future usefulness of cryptocurrencies is yet to come.
