It’s not still the early days of blockchain
The university can shut down, suffer data loss or get hacked. Decentralized storage is an improvement.
No sense in diplomas being transferable though.

No need for a blockchain though. The University can just key-sign the diploma. Then the user can choose to keep it wherever they like.
