Who transacts more freely than darknet vendors? Who is in more defiance of state control? If it keeps criminals free from life in prison, it certainly keeps average citizens free.

Yeah, fair enough, and I’m not against everyone minding their own business, but that’s not how the real world works unfortunately.
We make the real world with our choices. The real world operated on untraceable cash, signatures and handshakes just 100 years ago and all time before. This "real" world we live in now is not normal.
It’s not normal indeed, but it’s convenient and “stable”. Stability seems to win against sovereignty every time unfortunately. Permissionless tech =\= permissionless adoption.
