If you're admitting the vast majority of people are using centralized exchanges, then the vast majority of the monero network isn't private. - that's exactly what you're saying.
What the real world means for #Bitcoin if not fiat gates??

How did you jump to the conclusion that vast majority of Monero users are on exchanges? Monero is delisted from almost every CEX. It's Bitcoin that is listed on every CEX.
Exchanges are not the only people that can discriminate based on unique history either. You seem to be the only one tunnel visioned on exchanges.
Use, NOT are.
Are you expecting a seller in the shop, accepting #Bitcoin on-chain to look through history and tell you no because some of the #sats in your payment were in DNM in 2015? If a seller IRL like this existed, they definitely WON'T be accepting monero at all. That's the thing you keep forgetting.
