If you want 'anonymity', you have to use Tor like everyone else.

Yeah, that's the point, Tor alone will never solve the underlying issue. Greg Maxwell has addressed this and he is also concerned with the current model, you can watch the video where he explains the elements project and he addresses CI, and also points at the need to mask the movement of coins, because for example, your landlord could see that you got a raise in your salary, and then decide to raise your rent.. there are all kind of ways that prove we need better privacy without anything illegal involved.

It seems obvious to me that the necessary changes are not going to happen to btc. 



Why do you say this? It's already happening. Did you read about 0.12? It will have native inbuilt Tor support where you just need to run Tor then open the wallet and that's all, anyone can do this even a newbie. And CT is coming too and BIP47.. why are you saying that isn't happening? I think it's slowly only getting better.
