Bitcoin is a protocol and an asset, and both are close to impossible to change.
I would be shocked if there was ever consensus on a base layer protocol change to add privacy features, especially considering how relatively mature Bitcoin is.
If that is a dealbreaker, Bitcoin is a voluntary system. No one will force you to use it.
I personally think problems with the current layered model or even Bitcoin privacy in general are greatly overstated.
These things do not exist in a vacuum - compare them to our current financial system and you will see how incredibly superior it is.
