I see your argument, and after having browsed around on your homepage and such, I see that you are a reasonable guy. Is it really so hard to believe that there are legitimate reasons for wanting to anonymously acquire a domain name? One of the selling points of crypto currencies is the ability to do anonymous payments. That's multi-billion dollars big (even if one considers most of that somewhere between "scam" and "bubble"). All sorts of people desire anonymity in what they do, not just criminals. The GP may not have made the case very well, but minorities are certainly weary of being tracked, so are one example of a group that may desire an extra layer of protection. It's not hard to imagine other groups. Dissidents, folks who want to keep focus on message instead of messenger, whistleblowers, .. It may be hard to see this from a privileged point of view (mine certainly is), but that doesn't mean it's not real or that only criminals want anonymity.
