CT provides the possibility of a website operator to *detect* CA
malfeasance.

OCSP provides a live "proof of freshness" of the certificate at a
cadence significantly shorter than the lifetime of most certificates
(even the 90-day certificates offered by ACME-driven CAs like Let's
Encrypt).

These are orthogonal, and mutually-reinforcing mechanisms, not competing
mechanisms.
