The difference between Monero or Zcash and Bitcoin is that it's trivial to link one address to another in Bitcoin. All the information is laid out before you. Monero and Zcash break that link. So even though you could be shown to be spending them if someone dug deep enough, it's harder to show where that privacy token came from. Its chain of custody, who had what and when, is either really fuzzy or opaque. This is much greater privacy than what's offered by a blockchain like Bitcoin.
