at the moment no one is going into that level of granularity. I do own some monero, if i feel the need in the future i may switch over to that completely or at least start purchasing bitcoin anonymously which is something else a VPN can help with.

Add to that the fact that if a place accepts crypto there's a good chance that they only accept one and that is BTC

Yeah, Monero is a pain which is why a lot of people prefer mailing the money. That was my point.
