It's the only one where the substantial additional overhead and complexity of blockchain is actually still less than the alternative, as your example clearly illustrates.
To attempt to answer a question from sibling comments: these systems are private or closed blockchains, not public. You have a traditional credentials database (the blockchain itself could also be used for this, but that won't usually have inherent benefits) to track who is allowed access to read or submit transactions. Those parties may run a node or you may have one independent third party run all the nodes. It's so different from cryptocurrency setup that it's hard to apply too much of the stuff we've learned from Bitcoin et al to these setups.
At least that's my understanding.
