< Last I checked, in far too many cases, the legal definition of rape literally makes it a crime that cannot be committed by a woman.
Or by anybody, unfortunately. But this is also the institution never wanting to be accountable for its errors. These people place is a jail. Will see if they consent to have sex with their own prison guard.

But that's not peer to peer. And people compare bitcoin/ ethereum to gold, but you can't really exchange ethereum without a centralised authority when you use POS. If these people refuse to process your payment, there is not much you can do about it.
Math cheatsheet made by others are not very useful. When it's not about a large public API it doesn't really make sense. People also forget that most theorems/formulas have slight modifications that are very useful but make these kind of enterprise very difficult.
The point is that this article conflates several things and is describing some fairly outdated or inefficient obfuscation techniques of which launderers would be some of the users of.
It goes from Hydra market duffle-bags of cash hiders (lolwut), to chain-hopping and scant mention of privacy coins. It randomly talks about Wasabi wallet same-chain bitcoin mixers, and then talks about Bitcoin Fog's operator being arrested which is much much older technology. It doesn't acknowledge or provide awareness about people actually wanting the privacy coins to begin with or staying within the mixing system (or trading claims to assets in the mixing system), and just assumes people are trying to obfuscate briefly with the end goal of holding non-private coins or fiat.
I don't get the impression that they were avoiding describing useful techniques for criminals, I get the impression that they have no idea.
