Sure, BTC and other popular ones work this way, but monero is completely anonymous (as long as senders don’t collude), so it’s not an inherit trait of crypto.

CBDC is half-transparent, it's a private database: the owner sees everything, people see nothing.

Not exactly. The decoy inputs/outputs provide anonymity if you look at a transaction in isolation, but doesn't when you look at repeated transactions. This is a problem that any cryptocurrency with a transaction graph will have. There are cryptocurrencies that don't have transaction graphs, but those have other issues (ie. not being able to detect counterfeiting)
