 Agencies will not hunt down devs of projects that don't give true anonymity or that can be deanonymized giving their users only the illusion of anonymity. 
They probably already have ways to deanonymize Tor and Bitcoin users. So no need to hunt those devs down.

 When innovation is criminalized, only criminals will innovate?

Trouble is, everything's outlawed enough that everyone is committing crimes, and the crooked cops in charge selectively enforce the unjust laws simply to suit their current whims.

The world needs to clean house and starve the beasts.

 what happens when he gets out of jail in 64 months, do they put them back in jail due to tornado cash having run and operated for the tenure of his prison sentence? is each subsequent use of the creation by a person on earth a new crime? are you just a criminal in perpetuity for creating software, publishing it, and then a future person uses that software in a way that a govt doesnt like?
