What does tainted mean in this context? Observably used by bad actors? And your conjecture is that Monero is not? Or that because of Monero's fungibility exchanges will just say "Oh well, we can't distinguish which ones are illicit so, I guess we will list Monero now!" The point of the entire post is IDGAF about exchanges because my coins don't touch them. I spend bitcoin when and where I want, with real people. I have yet to meet a business owner that wants Monero but that is beside the point. Monero isn't listed precisely because of its fungibility. It is impossible to make OFAC compliant (despite claims about Kraken, someone is lying). While I also don't give a fuck about OFAC, it's not a good argument against Bitcoin. There are good areguments for monero but "Tainted coins" aren't. No one using bitcoin peer to peer has a compliance officer. Bud.
