 RE: Chainalysis

Companies targeting users of cryptocurrencies like Blockchain analysis firms being a fan of the tech would be expected. I would expect they use it on a daily basis and would know more about it than the typical maxi would. In conferences i've met FBI digital forensics lab staff who hold Bitcoin because of learning more about it during seizures.

We have a similar two-faced relationship with forensic companies who try and target GrapheneOS and the Pixel platform.  Hate that we do whatever we can to break their capabilities but some definitely use GrapheneOS because they are impressed by the security offerings. I also find some of their tools interesting. Chainalysis is a very well made application.
