The point would be that you'd have a secure and reliable method to reach, record, and distribute that consensus. Not much of a cryptopunk thing, but a possible useful application of the technology.

I think they other two are considered "Javas's fault" because the frameworks they occurred in are so pervasive in the Java ecosystem that you might as well consider them part of the standard library.
