If you are going to use a big exchange in the future then you will need KYC. The only other way to get BTC will be on the black market. Would that put you off?
If the only option is black market, i will prefer to do KYC. But there are some people who really insist if not want to to KYC, i think it is not a problem because there a lot of Decentralized exchange that can be use. If in my country, there are some local seller that accept bitcoin and people in here can trade it to fiat. So it can directly sold without access any exchanges.
