"...if our IDs are not mutually known - why would two of us have a private (say SimpleX) chat"
For one example just look at Bisq. Both parties can be anonymous (and usually are) and their communication is private.
You can also be anonymous on Nostr and have private communications in DMs with individuals or groups that may or may not be anonymous.
"...there is no good reason for two of us to chat on Simplex"
I communicate privately and anonymously on SimpleX all the time because my intended message is only relevant and intended for the user I'm DMing. Sure, sometimes it's not always strictly necessary to be private, but that's up to the user to decide.
"...you cant have both the benefits at the same time"
Yes, you can lol. We already have 4 examples (Bisq, SimpleX, Monero, Nostr) where you can be anonymous and communicate privately...but there are plenty more. Maybe you mean "don't necessarily need" instead of "cant"?
