Yes it is.
Censorship doesn't necessarily mean the thing being censored is deterministically "bad" or "evil".
Bitcoin is above morality, morality is a human construct, Bitcoin is math and computer science, by definition it cannot have morality.
Now, you might or might not agree that Bitcoin should be allowed to exist given it facilitates activities such as the one you linked.
But since it's uncensorable in the first place... you cannot outlaw it.
Pandora's box is open, and it cannot be closed once it is open (unless you break Bitcoin's cryptography).
Uncensorability /is/ valuable, to the people that don't want to be censored, and want to exchange money without asking anyone permission, whether that's a drug dealer, or an unbanked worker in Venezuela.
