you do know that it is about advice to VASPs.. right?

You haven't read it at all, have you? Do you just search for the word mixer and copy and paste that paragraph while ignoring the rest of the document?

Here's some more direct quotes for you. Emphasis mine.

Quote from: https://www.fatf-gafi.org/media/fatf/documents/recommendations/Updated-Guidance-VA-VASP.pdf

It [the guidance] is intended to both help national authorities in understanding and developing regulatory and supervisory responses to VA activities and VASPs

Quote

The Guidance describes the application of the FATF Recommendations to countries and competent authorities

Quote

The Guidance is intended to help national authorities in understanding and developing regulatory responses to covered VA activities and VASPs, including by amending national laws, where applicable, in their respective jurisdictions in order to address the ML/TF risks associated with covered VA activities and VASPs.

So no, you are wrong. The advice is to countries and national agencies about all VA activities, not just those involving a VASP.

.. you are then trying to divert and ignore that the FATF have called out services like mixers directly and undeniably.. and also layer networks promoted as scaling solutions (LN) which also were directly mentioned. aswell as AEC(liquid/monero)

And you are ignoring the direct quotes I gave you which show the FATF have called out unhosted wallets and peer to peer trading directly and undeniably, which involves literally every single person who doesn't interact with bitcoin exclusively through a KYC account on a centralized exchange. So if you want to call out mixers based on the FATF rules, then you also need to call out every DEX, every merchant who accepts bitcoin, every personal wallet and indeed Bitcoin Core itself.
