You’re not thinking it through. It’s not only about being efficient and not, it’s also about being able to trust something. Sure, you can trust a DB that says that an account holds this much money - but why not have nodes verify that? For markets as well, blockchain make perfect sense. Blockchains tech tend to have standards, too. This makes for great tech that can be super cheap. Akash is more reliable than AWS for compute, is less expensive, and you can choose which companies or people to trust and where you want your deployments to be located. For storage, Sia is the same thing. More reliable whilst being cheaper and more geo-redundant. But as you’re saying, sure, the chains themselves are not efficient, but coupling chains with software makes for decentralized free markets to work.

Hedera Hashgraph

It’s laughable that intelligent people fall for the trap of thinking there’s nothing to this new technology. Admittedly there is a lot of hype and scamming in the blockchain space but there are also some pioneering solutions that do actually work - fast, secure, trusted, cheap, efficient. See Hedera.com for example. Hint: it’s a public DLT but it’s not a blockchain. Times have changed.
