One point I've heard is that some large organizations don't necessarily trust themselves (or all their employees). Then a bunch of nodes with a chain inside the organization might be harder to tamper with than a database.

If you just want to avoid tampering, you're better off with servers publishing (signed) messages and clients storing those in an append-only log; a good example are the CT logs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency
