About the Community of trust argument: The reason that privacy is such a large issue is because the "trust" you value has already been devastated by the business community in general. It's a lost war. Now, the name of the game is to protect yourself against the all-too-common violations of trust.
If building a community of trust is the issue, the anonymous transactions can go very far in promoting it, by removing the question of whether or not the institutions you're dealing with are trustworthy.
