Basically it sounds like a bunch of people getting upset for no reason because they think blockchain = crypto.

Pretty much, yeah. Seems that people heard the phrase “blockchain” and instantly assumed the idea was to flog NFTs, which is unfortunate for the people behind the platform.

That said, this seems to be yet another example of people using blockchain unnecessarily. Wouldn’t a centralized database/authentication server have been a simpler choice?

By far, which is why many people assumed that the plan was to start flogging NFTs later (once it became more difficult to back out).

Possibly, although there’s also the fact that “blockchain” is the trendy new buzzword that companies like to use because they think it makes them look cool.
