Ordinals is not a protocol. It is a scheme. The usefulness of inscriptions is debateable but not because of Ordinals, because of Bitcoin. Bitcoin provides the immutable chronological storage of transaction data. Ordinaks just sit on the sideline playing a game that purports to track that data. Big difference from being an open protocol akin to Bitcoin, Lightning, or even Nostr.
