Bitcoin is traceable, but you don't need to use any kind of document to have an address / wallet. It was not created to be anonymous or for use in illegal transactions. It was created to be the most reliable way to conduct an online transaction.

Although it can be traced. No one has the power to block or return a transaction. Once sent, it was gone.

With any other traditional means of payment, money can be withdrawn or blocked with a court order. With Bitcoin, if there is no collaboration from the wallet owner, this is impossible.

Those who use Bitcoin for illegal activities are at various risk of being tracked, not just by ledger. A good investigator and the criminal system need much more evidence.

Now one risk he does not want to make is selling the goods and not receiving the money. It is this reliability that Bitcoin offers that compensates for the risk of being tracked eventually.
