AFAIK blockchain per se is not abuse resistant.

Not in general, bit for example for Bitcoin it costs at minimum 0.00001 BTC per kB of transaction [0] (not kB of data). Given current rates that's 5 cents.

Other blockchain based systems such as Certificate Transparency logs don't have this requirement but one needs to go through trusted CA to get their data there.

Still, files have been put in CT logs:
