You don't gain anonymity. It doesn't hide sender or receiver so is still traceable. Even says this on their website...🤦‍♂️

I swear, if I called a pair of shackles a "Bitcoin sidechain" yall would clasp them to your wrists just because of the name

my understanding is that by withdrawing bitcoin from the exchange and sending it to sideswap (peg-in) and then transferring L-BTC to my wallet I would already be anonymous. isn't that true?

No you are not anonymous on L-BTC. It is almost exactly like Bitcoin onchain except only amounts are hidden. You can still see what addresses are transacting even if you don't know the amounts.
