You are right.

By anonymous I meant if the user takes reasonable precautions then it’s very very hard for law enforcement to know who that user is.

The transaction log is public but who is actually behind those transactions is not.

I dont think thats fair either. The transactions are public and the addrresses are public and addresses are basically just unique usernames. So you always know what address is behind a transaction, but ownership info is not always guaranteed.
