But there's a good chance that mixers are used primarily for illegal activities

Analysis has shown this is not the case. The majority of funds deposited to mixers comes directly from exchanges such as Coinbase and Binance from people looking to increase their privacy. Only a minority of mixer coins come from darknet markets or other potentially illegal sources.

I think, so I would not mind them becoming illegal.

Cash is used to scam people. Should we make that illegal? Encryption is used by criminals. Why isn't that illegal? The internet is used by pedophiles, cars are used by bank robbers, guns are used by terrorists.

If you make illegal perfectly legitimate goods or services which have been misused by some, then pretty much everything would be illegal. As with most things privacy related, governments and law enforcement sticking their noses in to your business, building backdoors in to messaging apps, trying to ban encryption, tapping your phone lines, monitoring your internet history, or even banning mixers, does next to nothing to stop criminals and terrorists. It is a mass surveillance tool, nothing more.

I can't understand why anyone involved in bitcoin would be pushing for less privacy, not more.
