People don't care that much because retail finds very little use in tools like Tornado. Regarding sanctions, @forexbrokr wrote an amazing article explaining why it makes no sense.
Politicians can sanction front-ends but they can't sanction protocols. If a government blocks AAVE.com you can still use the smart contracts directly from the blockchain. It requires technical skills but it is still doable.
Without private coins like USDC it's hard for governments to gain control on the protocol level.

I thought USDC was a decentralized alternative to tether but it seems they both can seize or freeze your funds. Looks like Hive Backed Dollars are the answer.
