Note: I might just be uneducated on the subject.

When I read about web3 with blockchains, smart contracts and dapps, all sounds very promising. But once you look for any real world applications it is just some obscure things that kind of only exist to support the decentralized system. I guess that makes sense, but are there any actual real world uses for that? Like day-to-day things that make a persons life easier, not harder?

Everything related to crypto is ultimately a scheme to get you metaphorically invested in crypto, so the line goes up for people who already literally invested in crypto. All the theoretical benefits and non-scam use cases remain purely theoretical. Where it sounds kinda dumb and overcomplicated - that's because it is.
