> The argument probably is that they assisted a sanctioned entity by providing a contribution i.e. service to it.

You ask this as if there are only non-legitimate uses. Do you think businesses often give away their revenue data to their competitors for free? Of course not, so if you want to do business on an open ledger then you have to have a way to obscure transactions so that your competition doesn't get to know exactly what your revenue stream looks like.

There's nothing sinister about privacy. It would be a logical fallacy to assume that just because sinister things happen in private that privacy itself is sinister.
