I agree with you but in the end we live in a modern world. Putting it on the blockchain will verify who was first. Patents stops progress, Open source is the way to go IMO. It is not fair for a inventor to have to spend lots of money to patent something
When it is on chain it is kind of patented, but I still think open source and competition is better then "claiming and owning rights". The world is a state of the past, everything created has been inspired of the past. So even the "new is the past"
