Yes, or close to it. Also because that's what it should be - privacy is the greatest good we don't have.
Kyc-free reduces your attack surface, but I'm unsure by how much.
The only reason why I don't want to argue against tether-on-taro much is because long-term it could enable a proper chain into tether-as-ecash, which is useful for the majority of unfree people that need to DCA:
"buy" USDT for cheap on an exchange for USD
withdraw to taro
LN bridge taro-USDT into an ecash USDT mint of choice
nutswap for sats on robosats
Theoretically we could do this today by backing the dollar ecash with sats, but it would be risky to guarantee that peg and hard to get the rails in place to an ecash mint from a CEX. The mint would need a lot of liquidity for that.
