The big focus IS on anonymity -- some people use that anonymity for fungiblility (like me), others for committing crime. What you choose to use the anonymity for is up to you, but regardless of why you use it the main point is to have an untraceable currency.
Turn that around. Some people use the lack of anonymity in crypto for crime. Blackmail, extortion, spying, theft are a few crimes that come to mind.
