Tangling Bitcoin up with money laundering and defending it so you can make a couple bucks to spam here while pretending it's a privacy issue seems pretty selfish to me.

In your eyes, is there no privacy issue that when you send me a Bitcoin payment, I can see where your change went and what you're going to do with it afterwards? That I could trace a payment to a centralized exchange or an online shop and ask them which customer deposited from that address?
I would certainly prefer to mix the output or have mixed UTXOs in appropriate sizes already that I can spend in full, without generating change...

by using a mixer you are actually giving up your privacy because your utxo movements before and after WILL BE FLAGGED and your movements from the services before and after the mixer WILL BE on a sar report that goes to authorities..

you do realise that authorities do not track every movement. there are like 10,000 tx a day. they dont have the time to watch them all and track them all..
its the very point of them looking at what things to define as suspicious to narrow down a short list of interesting transactions to concentrate their time on and actually watch

and yet again i have to tell you USING A MIXER WIL GET YOU WATCHED

so if you dont want to be on a narrow shortlist of being watched. dont use a mixer

there are other ways not defined as mixers, other ways to create new things not described or promoted as mixers/privacy enhancing tools to meander through to make it tougher to be linked.
but mixers specifically and anything described as privacy enhancing will get you watched which makes the fail their purpose

be smart stop advertising things when you know the consequences of it. dont be stupid to continue advertising things that will put you on a watch list.
