Why not though? Assuming no mixing of any type, a merchant or any recipient getting paid with a 100M sats UTXO for an amount of 100K sats would learn that I have at least 100M sats. Maybe you're thinking along different lines?

Sure that's true. But rather than splitting your tx you could instead just pay them with lightning or use boltz to do a swap from your lightning or liquid wallet to pay the merchant on chain from an atomic swap. Want privacy? Keep a handful of sats on L2.
