So SEPA allows the government to spy on us while being a black box to the rest of us while Ethereum and Bitcoin are fully transparent while protecting our privacy. Not sure how this is a good point in favor of SEPA but ok.

I was being sarcastic, of course they won't, because they don't care. They only enforce said war crimes against geopolitical enemies such as Russia.
