Oh, because fiat is the attack vector not the coin you are buying. Fungibility markers only matter to your counterparty. The fiat being the control mechanism is so much more likely that I am kind of shocked this is still a talking point.
The whole Monero coin IS a tainted coin in the eyes of OFAC exchanges, do you see what I am saying? So, if we are talking about the same exchanges, Monero is no different than Bitcoin in this respect. If we are talking about exchanges that are non-compliant to OFAC, then there is no difference either.
This is why I don't understand this talking point. It doesn't make any sense.

> Monero coin IS a tainted coin in the eyes of OFAC exchanges
this is not true. Monero has a fiat USD pair on Kraken. It's not available in the EU because European regulators don't like it, but Kraken is certainly OFAC compliant.
OFAC's tainted coin label is just Yellen's leash on financial freedom.
If they take Monero, they certainly are not truly "OFAC Compliant" because of the KYC requirements of OFAC. (how would they know you're not a Russian using Monero if they don't know their customer)
This is the "Certified Organic" of Crypto.
