wasn't the original purpose of BTC blockchain made as decentralised payment gateway? since, that failed, or became impractical it seems people now trying to come up with contrived use-cases as a means to dump a bunch of shitty tokens on greedy retail investors if vitalik wanted he could create a new chain buterinchain, press a single keystroke to mint 1,000,000 tokens and those tokens would instantly be worth 10s or 100s of $, without any use-case. it's just a joke.
