 They will hunt down any mint that becomes big enough for them to worry. That removes any sense of trust which you need in other to use a custodian.

People won't be up to regularly chaning to a new rando anon mint when their former one was just seized by the feds.

 You can't hunt down every Tor anon mint. People operate drug markets for years (which is way way harder), everybody can run a mint on their umbrel node for their circles, good luck chasing that down
