I don't really understand your hostile response nor foaming-at-the-mouth hatred of blockchain technology (I'm guessing it came from a bad interaction with a crypto bro on Twitter or something), however I think OP is just saying that both were popular technological trends that people tries to exploit to solve problems that society didn't really have. One technology is obviously more helpful than the other, but that doesn't mean either are the right choice for the business you're building.
