The purpose of private relay is more to prevent ISPs/Cell carriers from vacuuming up your data and selling it in probably totally identifiable ways to the lowest sketchy bidder.
All the big carriers have already been sued by FCC for selling location data without permission[1], and even last month Verizon is trying to justify collecting more data on everything you use your phone for[2]. Apple's business model is less gross than ISPs and their partnership with Cloudflare to prevent even themselves from being able to access traffic logs is an extra plus
