Crypto still hasn't figured this out. The entire focus is on how to get people using the technology.

Bitcoin did "figure that out". You're referring I think to cashgrabs that slap the Blockchain term to try to milk some money. Bitcoin originates from a concrete customer experience issue: lack of digital money with some cash like properties (non reversible, pseudonymous, trustless, etc).
