How would that work?
I don't think it helps to have eCash mints since you're already KYC'd so what's the difference from the current infrastructure? You could just log requests and link it to the account anyway so what privacy benefit would there be?
Maybe apps could have support for 3rd party mints, but I doubt that's going to fly with regulators

It does help because the mint doesn’t know your balance. Vastly increasing your financial privacy.
I think that is the major value proposition even with KYC services. You still get some level of privacy with a trusted/legacy financial institution. Of course in the current political climate this would never pass (FISMA 2.0 just got broad support) but if the political climate changed then something like this can be a compromise.
