reduce anonymity of transactions in blockchains like Bitcoin, Ether, Omni, Dash and Monero.
Interesting choice of words. At cointelegraph is even more interesting: "partially reducing anonymity". This may mean a lot or nothing.

very curious what they did about Monero and I mean real life cases, not some unique in-lab user cases that can be handled by the "prototype".
This is similar to how Russia recently announced the creation of the first vaccine against coronavirus. They trumpeted this to the whole world that they were ahead of the entire planet, and now doctors do not want to take this vaccine, because it has a lot of side effects, and it is not known whether it is effective against coronavirus. Therefore, it is not worth worrying about the fact that the cryptocurrency will somehow decrease its anonymity. Let them first show it in practice.
