But I don't think it's fair; to be guaranteed that your funds are safe, for example, but were suddenly frozen for no reason at all.
I couldn't agree more.
What's happening is they're displaying that fancy "no-KYC" banner just to attract customers while enforcing it silently under the hood.
If a Swap Service doesn't have a choice but to enforce KYC requirement, they shouldn't advertise themselves as "no-KYC exchange" or at least mention it in their TOS that the user complied with.
An honest exchange should be transparent on what they're enforcing. (even though it's hard to find like a single line in the exchange's terms of service, that still counts)

There are two cases here:
  • It's the user's fault if he didn't read the service's TOS, Privacy Policy or FAQs where it's stated the above.
  • Or the service is a scam/honeypot/mismanaged if the user doesn't agreed to a TOS that they may enforce "ShotGun KYC".
