not just el salvador. bitcoin ATMs are worthless in the US. They're all KYC
No, Chivo ATMs need only a phone number (not even a local one), and you can do 1K/day.
In most places in the West it's far far worse, and also the rates are appallingly bad compared to Chivo ATMs in ES.
Chivo is really problematic and bad in a lot of ways, but not so much the ATMs.
Still having said all of the above, I still couldn't recommend them unless you don't have other options. It's a quasi-govt controlled company that does not have a good track record with its tech.
