There are some technical pros and cons for such an implementation, but the major issue is that you need to trust the source of information.

Weren't we here to allow a trustless environment? What is this attempt to have a "trusted third party" back in the game?

I use bitcoin because I know that my tx will be accepted regardless who/what confirms it.

Blockchain applications live in their own digital realm, totally orthogonal to the “meat space” also known as the Real World™. Be it decentralized application or smart contracts, their reach is limited to the space they can control. Any use case projection in our reality eventually confronts the following hard fact: how can an app efficiently and securely interact with the physical world?
