Stick with the e-commerce use case. In person payments are one thing. Obviously, cash is an anonymous system, and that works fine for in-person retail payments. But go back to the diamond ring example. How do you safely buy something like that anonymously, without extreme risk of rugpulls in the form of non-delivery of goods or services?

A bills of lading model is the best I’ve been able to come up with for this problem. Know third party carriers facilitating the anonymous transactions for a fee.

Why will the average person jump through such hoops?

They probably won’t, they will likely use conventional methods.

If people find value in anonymous transactions, they will continue to work on those efforts.

Then we agree.
