The question is: to trust one single different individual every time you make a trade or trust one government controlled exchange with every trade you make?

If somebody wanted to get the data they could set many offers on p2p
With kyc exchanges pretty much all purchases can be matched together. They get a pretty good picture of what you own and have more detailed information such as your address.
With non kyc buying such as robosats, every single trade is treated as an individual event. Next time you buy or sell you get a completely fresh id. So the potential tracking institution at the other end has less information from you in the first place and it is much more difficult to string all of that together or to „proof“ what you own. Still, risk here is that more different individuals can get hold of your payment data but that’s also true for buying stuff on ebay or other places
The problem is not with robosats ... robosats implementation is pretty solid, but payments like revolut and bank transfer are not
I agree, but still, in the end you have to decide if you would rather expose all of your personal information and transaction history to one big government controlled institution or expose only payment details and a one off transaction to many different entities.
Also consider which is the sweeter honeypot for criminal individuals looking for victims
so the first one I more fore state level attacks but the second is more for casual criminals
