Correct. These are not the type of entities that are going to sell their asics and shutdown, realistically they will comply for their shareholders.

What’s the defence? Make it impossible for them to differentiate TXs somehow?

Ring signatures would work, but requires a hard fork. Probably not worth it.

Censoring transactions isn't all or nothing for the network. Disapproved wallets will still be able to have transactions included in the block, they'll just have to wait until a non-compliant pool finds the block first. Slower and less predictable, maybe slightly higher fees.

Yes exactly. Censorship resistance is a function of fees. If US miners censor transactions, the fees go up until there's enough "illicit" hashpower to put those censored transactions into a block.
