You don't understand it.
The receiver likely generates a new address each time.
When you ask someone for an address, the person will give you a virgin address.
The attacker wants to know THE OTHER addresses of the victim.
When the victim spends from that wallet the virgin address and the others will become visibly linked so that you know more about the victim's true bitcoin balance

Yes, which would be visible on the blockchain. The linking occurs from spending, its nothing to do with the dust. Its a marker that doesn't really add much.
You see the source, and the destination of all sats. If you watch an address (the same as dusting), you learn exactly the same thing you would learn without the dusting.
