Ok, well I was just being clear that KYC and forward privacy are two different things because it read like you were conflating them. And again, almost no users obfuscate their Bitcoin.
Doesn't matter how massive the data is. We have computers now. All of that history is "flattened" and can easily be parsed by chain analysis companies especially when they have access to data sets from large exchanges and government bodies.
I don't know if you're being funny about the "illegal drugs, firearms, sex trafficking, prostitution" part. Because that's exactly what they accused Bitcoin of in the past and will also accuse self-custodial Bitcoin users of in the future too. Except in that case it's easier to prove what it was used for and tie to someone (correctly and incorrectly i.e. Roman Sterlingov).
Now you're drifting into hypotheticals about auditability and scalability that have nothing to do with the original topic; privacy.
