Don't you think you could argue that the Utrust token can be seen as a "payment instrument" and therefore would require AML and KYC obligations for the ICO?

At this point no, because there is nothing you can buy with them. In the future, perhaps yes, if they can be used in a payment system. From the utrust whitepaper:

Quote
Once all the regulatory questions  have  been  clarified  with  the  Swiss  Regulator  (FINMA),  the  UTRUST platform will be a payment system that will enable you to use the token and spend it independently  alongside  a  system  that  grows  in  synergy  with  the  token.

In their own words, only after they received their answers from FINMA to regulatory questions, will it be possible to use them in payment transactions.
