The difference is every time I make a cash transaction it is not broadcast and publicly available to the world along with my historical tx graph, remaining balance, and potentially my net worth. (Bitcoin worst case is worse than cash)

You can't trace the full history of cash. Even with SNs, all you can do is know the end points - where it was withdrawn and where it was deposited/confiscated. All the hops and p2p actors in between are not available.
