When I downloaded the original Satoshi paper and reference implementation, I recognized most of the deficiencies you relate, here and elsewhere. Tragically, that is why I never bothered to install and run it... Oops. "The best is the enemy of the good". The problems with global-consensus cryptocurrencies run much deeper, and you are correct that they will never be a money substitute. It is surprising, however, that so few technical people bothered to ask "why", and look for the solution. Perhaps it was my decade of work prior, wrestling with distributed monitoring and control systems, that made me inquisitive about general solutions in this class of problems. One class of solutions broke quite recently, and has received little recognition. I dropped everything, and went all-in, and have been developing with the team since. As the parent has observed -- I see very little substantive discussion, and plenty of unfortunately cringe-inducing dismissive "aktualy, ..." statements, paroting trivial and obvious "deficiencies" as proof that cryptocurrencies are a dead-end. You seem quite interested, though. Reach out, if so.
