If you’re looking to evade taxes or otherwise commit serious crimes, why on earth would you do so using an immutable public ledger? Any mistake and you’ve gift-wrapped the case for the prosecution.

Probably because you can do the laundering step through a web of anonymous servers sitting on the darknet rather than through fraudulent incorporations which have a lot more surface area for detection and also leave immutable paper trails.
