TLDR: Because Smart Contracts on the blockchain are the right tool for Secure Digital Agreements.
Paperweight contracts are irrelevant in a world of data
* A Smart Contract is cheaper to publish that the stack of paper handled by lawyers.
* Code is cheap to iterate from whereas traditional SLA are expensive/slow to renegociate.
Over time, SLAs drive behaviors that are focused on delivering a minimum level of service at minimum cost to the provider.
* A Smart Contract is a code you can trust, understand and expect to behave instantly compared to the traditional SLM.
so, are you saying we should replace social media platforms w/ decentralized sharing & aggregation driven by smart contracts? sounds intriguing but daunting

Why not a python script? I don't trust the guy that handle that script. Blockchain is very good at bringing trust.
