The advantages of the anonymous marketplace only really apply to people who's work is being suppressed (activists/journalists) or who's work is rightfully being persecuted (criminals). Maybe there's a case to be made that a lot of people do want to know who they're dealing with, besides that the system (algorithm etc.) thinks they're thrust worthy.

In countries like Venezuela, where government is enforcing laws for price control and shops are shutting down everywhere, an anonymous marketplace would be a godsend.

Citizens under totalitarian regimes are the ones who benefit most from crypto currencies, crypto messaging and crypto markets.

Yeah, I should have included that example. Just adding that repression on that scale actually merits regime change more than finding a workaround. Although the workaround might be more feasible in most cases. So, it's a good initiative.
