".onion names are used to provide access to end to end encrypted, secure, anonymized services; that is, the identity and location of the server is obscured from the client. The location of the client is obscured from the server."

It might be worthy to add that 'only' using TOR doesn't obscure everything enough to never be found/tracked.
While using the TOR browser does help a lot, the privacy also highly depends on the user.

Can someone please tell me why bitcoin mixers seem typically seem to have both a darknet and clearnet address? Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but just now I can't imagine what the point is.

The whole point is privacy.
Thats also the same reason why some mixing services (eg. ChipMixer) do offer a non-java script mixing service. Reducing the graphical animation, increasing the privacy.
