That's how the game works, unfortunately, you have to pay for privacy, personally, I think some privacy is better than zero privacy and non-KYC bitcoin is a spectrum. The non KYC crowd provide solutions that are appliable to them and sure they are the better options but there are mid range options people can use
I personally recommend people stack on a lightning wallet or liquid wallet and they can submarine swap and or use a coinjoin after. It is far cheaper than the options above and you can start with any amount and just start building your LN or L-BTC balance and once its practical pay for a bit more privacy as you move into cold storage
