I was wondering who used ATMs nowadays. There are a lot of exchanges not requiring passing kyc. ATMs charge higher fees.
That is obvious. The markup can range from 5% to 15%. But if you want complete anonymity, then there is no other option available for cryptocurrency users (I assume that there are no CCTVs installed near the ATM. Even if there is one, you can always use a mask and face-shield and say that it is to prevent COVID 19). Localbitcoins and exchanges nowadays ask for all sort of KYC documents. Peer-to-peer trading options are always there, but I would avoid them like plague.
I don't exactly know how it works on other countries, but in Italy, when you send money to a crypto exchange, your Bank immediately signals this to the Bank of Italy as suspect operation. This do not means there 's anything illegal, but just "suspect".
So no point having a KYC free exchange when you are sending them money trough a KYC channel.
This is why ATM have higher fees: anonymity and privacy have a (mostly undervalued) price.
