>but monero is completely anonymous (as long as senders don’t collude).
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)
