The fact that single individuals COULD get privacy doesn't address my point.
Are you familiar with Chainanalysis? Roman Sterlingov? Samourai and TDev?
Sending txs from a particular address (ie with a particular private key) ABSOLUTELY identify the sender if those utxos are KYCed. Doesn't matter if you use a VPN or Tor or whatever the fuck antenna not to send it.
and since probably 90+% of the network comes in through KYC onramps it means 2 things,
one, those users already need to do *something* to obfuscate their ownership
and
two, people who bought nonKYC are hiding in MUCH smaller anonset than the entire utxo set.
in short,
Bitcoin privacy sucks.
and nothing you've said so far is relevant.
