so in practice it actually doesn't, and enterprise "blockchain" systems tend to evolve:

do the real work in the blockchain bit
do the real work in a program with an SQL database attached, claim the blockchain is for audit logs
every SQL DB can produce those anyway, remove the blockchain bit entirely
don't bother removing the word "blockchain" from your marketing copy

multiple such cases!

exactly, like I said, there is only 1 thing it could be used for, but there are better options for that anyway.
