To me, XMR is like Tor and BTC is like Clearnet. 99% of "privacy" use cases could be satisfied with clearnet HTTPS or a VPN, but I'm glad Tor is an option even if I have lots of concerns about its incentives and tradeoffs. There are simply some tasks that only Tor and XMR can can complete today, for example, selling illegal flowers online. And its a huge failure of BTC and Clearnet that we cant trade flowers online with them very easily. At the same time, anyone who uses Tor and XMR for everything is going to struggle more compared to those who accept the privacy tradeoffs and use the more mainstream Clearnet/BTC.
