Accessing transactions in the traditional system ostensibly requires a subpoena, and is limited by jurisdiction.

You would need the same to identify a fiat gateway with btc. You cant link a person to an account without that.

I'm skeptical that you couldn't. Anonymous data is often not quite as anonymous as we think, and identities can be deanonymized by cross-referencing with other public info. If even one of your on-chain transactions leaks identity, your entire history with that wallet is compromised.
