A mixer doesn't fit that definition. Even if they obtained a court order they may not be able to provide the information. You are moving the goal posts.

Some laws state things you must not do, and others state things you must do. Financial regulations tend to fall into the latter. Thus a service that cannot comply with these things is illegal.

It's not moving the goal posts. It's just the real world.

Law exists to support social goals. If rules and "goal posts" must be changed to achieve the goals, they will be.
