Is it completely implausible to tell the country where that exchange took place that it's their problem if they failed to enforce KYC/AML laws and check who is exchanging those fungible commodities and its origins?

Yes? The transaction you know how to track is the unlawful one. Some ransomware requires you to pay them, so you do, and they take possession of whatever untraceable commodity and then give you the decryption keys (or don't). Or they buy a commodity on a stolen credit card and have possession of it before the fraud is reported. Then the victim goes to the police or files a dispute with the credit card company. The KYC/AML data is just going to give you the name of the account holder, i.e. the victim. The criminal didn't receive government currency, they received something they can anonymously resell for government currency, which could be anything with a market value.
