There's nothing stopping courts from demanding that XMR.to keep records of the chain of custody when users buy XMR via BTC on their service.

Almost all exchanges adhere to KYC laws, so there's a good chance that following transactions backwards will lead to an identifiable buyer or seller of Bitcoin.

What technical features of Monero make it a solution for actual anonymization of BTC?

Theoretically the conversion back to btc can’t be connected to the original btc->xmr conversion

(Edit: btc to xml would be a novel transaction. Curse you autocorrect)
