> I don't think it's "political" to say you want anonymity or privacy to exist on a network
anonymity is just a tool you use to protect your privacy if it's being prone to attacks. Pseudominity is fine most of the time.

Bittorrent or previous protocols were not advertising their project as some new idea that still needed to be implemented. Previously they just released their apps, people used them, the app evolved and it grew more popular.
I think I see too many of those project embryos while there already is freenet and tor. It's either an attempt from investor to attracts tech unsavy people into a security trap, or inexperienced or tech unsavy project initiators. Maybe there is more work to be done to make freenet and tor more accessible to new users instead of reinventing new techs.
Nowadays with the sharp increase of internet users, the noose is indeed getting tighter and tighter. It doesn't mean you have to reinvent the wheel... Improve it instead.
