You are partially right, privacy is important.
How important?
Run some numbers:
Fast payments = Visa and Mastercard are worth US$1 trillion.
Privacy = Monero and Defi is about another trillion.
Savings = Gold, Real estate, Stock market, monetary funds… around US$900 trillion.
Savings is a x900 bigger problem than privacy and fast payments right now.
