A bit of an off topic thing to ask, but as long as it's not a crime to buy it, why do you care if it's anonymous or not? It's like withdrawing cash in a bank. Yes, the bank may know that you withdrew cash, but what happens with that cash and where you spent it is entirely up to you and it's very hard to track it.

Never buy and spend with the same address and it should be private enough just by design.

Because it may not be illegal today, but may become tomorrow. Even if not, it still becomes linked to your PII.
