I have the same question. Usually the response is something about using randomly generated IDs/addresses with your “wallet” program managing all these pseudonyms and tying them to your actual identity for your convenience, but I don’t understand how that is any better than our current system where things just are private by nature. I don’t expect people to be okay with their purchase histories being public knowledge.
