How do they enforce KYC?

Cannot join the pool without KYC probably
But the distinction in the statement is “every transaction” versus kyc in mining pool participation.
Maybe it's also a reference to point of sale KYC where the merchants require it. The question becomes "would you use bitcoin if mining it and using it in stores required KYC".
It’s not if, but when, if the state gets their way.

Indeed.
Mining Pool Requirements: Mining pools, which often comprise a significant portion of the hashrate, could be required to implement KYC procedures for their members. Miners joining these pools would need to provide their identities and comply with KYC rules set by the pool operators.
