"Seems to completely work around the reasons why Bitcoin etc. were interesting in the first place as a technology."

Sometimes being human is such a bummer! I'd rather be deaf and have had happy ears when I was young than grow old and never "used" them, though. YMMV, a lot.

I seem to be doing well and living nicely off mostly toxins, then.

"To render the diagram" is a pretty good reason.
