This is why scaling in layers and pushing privacy up the stack is the correct strategy IMO. There are many improvements that can still be made at the protocol level e.g, wider Payjoin adoption, but most of the MoE privacy advancements should happen above layer 1.

Layer 1 is hard, sound , secure ,auditable, low attack surface money(see Aristotle's principles of sound money as the basis) All the whizz bang features go in higher layers.

 More features->more attack surface->less security
