Even Moneros privacy isn't perfect atm, but you're trying to convince us that a completely transparent blockchain that reveals sender, amount, and receiving address is "good enough"?
Lightning would be arguable if it weren't for the fact that it's best case scenario privacy is out of reach from your average user. Apparent from 90%+ using custodians which can see everything they do.
All the criticisms about Monero you displayed have nothing to do with privacy (the whole topic of your post)
Anonymity is an asymmetric advantage against the state (the main enemy of Bitcoin) privacy further bolsters that anonymity
White market Bitcoin transactions are non-starters since all white market transactions are completely and arbitrarily dictated by a central authority.

Monero’s ‘privacy’ leaks through:
· Exchange off-ramps (KYC bottlenecks)
· Network-level snooping (Timing/volume correlations)
· State-level attacks (Chainalysis++ coming for XMR next)*
Bitcoin’s transparency is its armor:
· You choose when to reveal (CoinJoin, Lightning, P2P)
· No ‘privacy tax’ (XMR’s 30% slower verification)
· The state fights adoption—not the protocol itself**
Final Truth:
‘Privacy’ without unstoppability is just hide-and-seek with permission."
