Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

You don't think it is relevant to Bitcoin that other methods of payment might have problems that Bitcoin doesn't have?

Websites do, which make up a fundamental staple of the Bitcoin network/community, albeit a sociological / economical staple, and not a technical one.
