All of which can be done without a blockchain, without the massive environmental damage and mostly on a free Postgres instance running on a Raspberry Pi in the corner of your bedroom. All of these are absolutely fine, they are dumb to have on a blockchain.

No they can't. You can't have ENS running on a RaspPi in someone's bedroom because you don't want a naming system to be dependent on some random dude not unplugging their RaspPi, or modifying the database to change who owns which names for their personal benefit.

  Pretty bad idea to have it on a system that costs a variable amount of money and seconds to minutes of time to run every transaction as well.

    Inefficient or what you consider as a "pretty bad idea" is a far cry from "scam", which was the assertion.
