I get what you're saying, but people are just on different stages of the same journey. Also people have different risk-profiles. For some people, buying bitcoin is "taking ON risk", whereas for others bitcoin is taking off risk.

If a person is in the former group, then KYC free might seem like ADDED risk, which then becomes unbearable. For the latter group, KYC is the risk. I guess this begs the question of what a bitcoiner is.
