The problem with all these privacy preserving cryptographic breakthroughs is they are never deployed in practice.
Just look at cryptocurrency. We've known how to create a privacy preserving, truly distributed, cryptographic replacement to cash for decades, and what we end up with instead is Bitcoin and the like, which is pseudo-anonymous only and ends up being centralised anyway to interact with the fiat world.
Theres no demand for this tech in current society.
