TERMINOLOGY
Chain Analysis
Reading a public blockchain to cluster addresses and follow coins. Bitcoin leaves a permanent graph of inputs, outputs, amount, and time; Monero is built so that simple graph is not public.
A later deposit to a KYC exchange can tie that public graph to a legal name. The comparison is about visibility, not about which shop to use.
