    …specifics about WHY IP addresses and multi-hop don’t matter.

    …you would have removed 1 identifier…

    So it can matter.

      Remember to read the rest of that sentence:

      1 identifier out of a hundred (one that isn’t really used anyway given SSAI is so popular).

      So, no. Not really.

        Yeah, multi-hop is pointless for tracking. The logic to it is crazy too. People think VPNs make them anonymous (they don’t), but they also think multi-hop makes them MORE anonymous. So anonymity is kind of an absolute concept. Either you are or you are not anonymous. You can’t be more anonymous than anonymous. There is no +1.
