There's no benefit there that would be useful to anyone. If you need a public ledger then you can just do that and skip the crypto BS

Public ledgers are "crypto BS".

Public ledgers predate crypto BS by decades and are not improved by cryptographic chaining between entries.

And what about ledger that use DAG instead of blockchain, did they exist pre crypto BS?

Giving your cryptographic chaining a pointless acronym doesn't make it useful.
