I don't crypto, but, isn't monero the coin whose primary intended use case is enabling illegal transactions by rendering them untraceable even to the police?
Are ... we calling that a good actor? Or do I just misunderstand what they're for?

No, it's not. Hyperbole doesn't mean "thing I don't agree with" or "thing I believe is wrong."
The person speaking very clearly wasn't exaggerating and very clearly meant themselves to be taken literally.
As I see it, if any crypto wasn't a scam, crypto fans would have long since agreed to give that thing as an example. The fact that the entire "industry" can't come up with a single compelling example, a decade and a half and twenty billion dollars in, is about as clear and obvious a proof as is actually possible.
