Indeed, you are correct.
But consider the situation where crypto more or less takes over, and tyrannical leaders use regulation, ISP's and controlled infrastructure to block the whole phenomenon to keep control over the population. We've seen it in several countries already. I believe it is a discussion that needs to be had, not least including people much smarter and more technologically experienced than me.
I suspect something like the Tor Project will be incorporated in many countries internet providers once people start to realise the freedom they could have. It'll only take a few large scale events to make it happen, but it will likely happen. Probably, being spawned due to the fact that governments will be looking to restrict their populations more so in the future, and with the evolving technology retaining your privacy will likely become a thing of the past. That'll be the time when people start looking for alternatives.
China is probably one of the more public governments on restricting their population, but that's by no means as effective as they like to admit.
