Though having a compliance on KYC and AML is against the decentralized nature of bitcoin

It really isn't. It has nothing to do with Bitcoin at all since all these laws are meant to hit businesses authorities can extract precious information from. In all cases you can avoid dealing with them if you find these laws to be ridiculous and privacy breaching, which they are. This is exactly what made local crypto markets boom especially in the last year, because people just aren't interested in going through all this nonsense. Positivity out of the way -- buying coins locally isn't without risks as we have seen and heard about this year. People holding crypto are more than ever a walking target due to the increased value and popularity.
