Good point but circling back to sanctions:

You believe there should be a centralized agent that can control the rails of public infrastructure to get what they want? This is a very anti-crypto pro-imperialist stance, which I find odd.

It's the same logic behind a criminal getting off on a charge on a technicality. Innocent until proven guilty. It's more important for everyone to be treated fairly on an equal playing field than it is to bend and break the rules to punish.
