Doesn't diminish your point in itself, but NBA Top Shot is a bad example since it runs on a centralized chain (Flow) and even recently had drama about a user being locked from withdrawing their funds [1].

There are tons of ways trust assumptions about smart contracts can be misunderstood. The current general education level about crypto seems similar to when snake oil sellers where sprinkling "artifical intelligence" in their products to make them "smarter". A drip of "blockchain" and suddenly your product is "trustless".
