 The beauty of Monero's delisting in CEX is that they gave up their usual mean of control: fractional reserved financial institutions they control to manipulate money supply as needed in accordance with market cycles. They perfectly played this card in the last crypto bull market where almost all coins including the shittiest ones reached new ATH while they starved off Monero from real demand turning it into paper claims without backing.

They are used to rig the game in their favour. And BTC will likely see the downsides of being tightly integrated into TradFi in the coming years. 
 Monero might as well be entirely fractional reserved since only 0.0001% of the population understand the math necessary to prove it isn't.  
 You can say that about literally anything including how Bitcoins cryptography works

It also isn't THAT hard to learn what commitments are and the math behind them. You could do it in an evening.
