Why are so many people desiring anonymity and privacy? What is a usual use case for it? Are they all black-hat hackers? I'm not an advocate of "if you are honest you have nothing to hide", and I certainly prefer a service without a KYC and personal info to one requiring it, but for me, this desire for anonymity looks like snake oil.

It's quite possible that soon in some countries it will become illegal to do things that you have been doing. For example using decentralized social network like Nostr will be illegal and if there's a connection that the department of wrongthink can make to your real identity, then you will be invited to provide explanation of your comments. If you have used services like fixedfloat, then your family will be in trouble. If you have connection to Russia, then you are a lost cause, etc...

I agree, but it's not a common case for now, certainly not enough to create the whole market
