Think of it this way. How many countries still don't allow for women to vote or even show their face in public, how many countries don't allow for freedom of speech, how many countries still don't allow freedom of press...and you think they'l be okay with a massive global currency they can't control what so ever? Not a chance.
They're welcome to try and control/ban/censor Bitcoin -- Bitcoin not being fully anonymous has never stopped states from trying to control/ban/censor it. Hasn't worked out for them. Most wisen up and lift their bans eventually.
I hope LN is something that stays on another layer and is used for anonymous transaction or something else is created so that bitcoin has both options..but making it fully anonymous wont work out well.
In the end, it's how people use money that will determine how private their transactions are. You could actually use fiat systems much better to stay anonymous (and this is why it's still the favourite laundering currency of crime). And you can always use certain methods and additional tec to existing Bitcoin tech to make your transactions more private -- CoinJoin comes to mind.
