Exactly. I think blockchains like EOS are going to be a whole different beast than the old school ones which put things like censorship resistance and anonimity in high regards.
I think this may also play a role in the decision to go for 21 Block Producers. Maybe for the model EOS is looking at, slightly less decentralization is not a bad thing. It may in fact be beneficial, as it makes regulatory compliance a lot easier if there's only 21 parties required to comply, rather than hundreds.
