Does IPFS even try to provide anonymity? Even if it would be technically "censorship-resistant", what good is it when everyone can see who hosts the content, track them down, and subpoena/arrest them?

No, anonymity isn't a goal of IPFS. If you add anonymity (for both consumers and publishers) to IPFS, you get the design of its older sibling: FreeNet.
