Isn’t using Onion routing pretty much what Apple is proposing?

There are big differences.

Private relay is secure as long as Apple and the third party do not cooperate, but end to end flow correlation is much easier because streams are not isolated.

Onion routing is much more sophisticated than private relay: even end to end correlation is more difficult because of how virtual circuits are made.
