This has definitely been a problem I've encountered. I'll see a discussion where someone's basically saying "what we really need here is some kind of distributed trustless way of associating data with users, without needing a central database or authority or whatever" and the moment I suggest something blockchain related I get the "monkey NFT cryptobro!" Slings and arrows.
