To be fair I don't think anyone here is the target audience. The target is the 99% of the world who aren't onboarded to crypto. Fluffy said it best when he described Tari as a "Trojan Horse". https://youtu.be/FSe8IXJO6nI https://youtu.be/zmeSSnppixY
We need something to get people into the space and we need it to be private by default.
I know there's a resistance to centralized exchanges but I can't see this as anything but bad for people's access to Monero.
Kraken has always been reputable and delisting from here means millions of people are losing an easy to use on-ramp for Monero.
It reminds me of sanctions in Russia. Sanctions don't totally restrict access to western goods like Levi's. They force customers to buy through a middle man who takes a cut. This increases the cost and effort to buy which results in less people buying and using whatever good.
If you trust them, which it seems like you do, to not sell your information for advertising purposes then maybe thats true.
They're still sharing your personal information with others. Maybe you trust Google to not use the information stored in your drive for ads or to sell you shit but do you then also implicitly trust every corporation that that give that data to? To you then also trust those companies to always handle and treat your personal information with the respect it deserves for all time?
Here's a relevant quote from their privacy policy:
We provide personal information to our affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we use service providers to help operate our data centers, deliver our products and services, improve our internal business processes, and offer additional support to customers and users.
If you're OK with Google using your personal information to sell you adds or with then selling your personal information directly, then it's a fine option.
Again, i's a privacy issue. Some people are OK with giving up privacy for convenience, and that's fine.
We can't spend inputs till they reach 10 blocks though right?
Monero, if that's what you're referring to, has mechanisms for auditing supply:

If you're going to repeat this argument ad nauseam then at least don't do it in a misleading absolutist way.
Some nonprofit organizations are corporations and have pretty shitty practices:

The Morman church is another US 'non-profit organization' yet somehow hordes billions.
Trusting blindly without doing research because something is presented as a non-profit is a good way to be taken for a fool and separated from your money.
When signal made their own cryptocurrency which they entirely premined was a huge red flag. Dropping SMS support was an annoyance that broke the camels back.
There're way more people there so you can expect a more active discussion.
Rino.io has a great multisig gui.
As a few examples
Removing mordinals was a maximally private idea. Adding templating to Tari was done as the flip side of this, to maximize how many people can express themselves on chain.
In monero vanity addresses are not possible on chain to maximize privacy. In Tari every address is made of emojis that are encouraged to be shortened with yats.
Smart contracting is huge, it gets people excited. Tari can be like the smart contracting platform monero needs to get people using privacy preserving technology.
