Not sure if you read the whole pots but I had a similar opinion to yours, I do agree being able to view all wallets holdings is more beneficial and that there are other ways people can protect their wallets and privacy
The wallet isn't what needs to be safe. The wallet owner is what needs to be safe. There is a reason Satoshi Nakamoto stays in hiding. There is a reason why it's not a good idea to flash millions in crypto on Youtube. What happened to people who did that? Most got hacked.
Hacking isn't the only way people can gain control over you (and thus your account). Coercion, if they find out your real world identity, is a direct lever of control over you.
