Care to explain how it is factually wrong?
- Is there not bitcoin right now in the possession of law enforcement because it was seized?
- Is there not bitcoin that has been used to facilitate a host of transactions that would be considered illegal because the trade itself was for certain good or service?
- Has bitcoin not been used to clear money that would otherwise not make it on fiat rails due to sanctions?
You're way to deep into the rambling my dude. Running a node is not illegal in most western countries. That's just a fact.
The reason your bullet list is grasping for straws is that "in dubio pro reo" is still a fundamental principle. I find it alarming aswell that it has been discussed in modern politics - but it is just a fact that at the moment "In dubio pro reo" still stands in the west.

I'm not saying running a node is illegal, I am saying there's already transactions on every node that could be considered illegal
Governments can make anything illegal, when I was growing up going to the beach was illegal, sitting on a park bench was illegal. Anything can be deemed "illegal"
