They are, at least in principle.
Sure, if you pay for something and have it delivered to your home, someone now knows the address linked to the wallet you used; do this a lot, and the chances increase that this link will end up in the wrong databases.
But that doesn't mean bitcoin & co. aren't, at least on their own, fairly anonymous.
