This is not just about the ban on privacy coin like monero but mostly about banning anonymous accounts. They just want to know everyone having cryptocurrencies and the amount of coins or tokens that they have. They want to know when you send coins and when you receive coins.

Your are right. They want to know who owned Bitcoin and other coins. And why? Because they want to tax profits or keep an eye on the people with the assets. In Europe, a few exchanges have already reacted to this and transactions away from the exchange can only be made if you give the name of the owner or confirm that the address is your own. I have written here in the forum in a local board, that I believe that p2p will grow. The problem is the fraud, but there are trustworthy people, including here in the forum, with them you can trade and that is what I will do.
