Was that omission intentional?

The british pound is addressing them

"This paper offers a primer on three PETs. We consider how PETs such as pseudonymization, zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), and several multiparty functionalities (such as Secure Multiparty Computation) might be applied to a potential digital pound platform. In particular, we assess design options and trade-offs that may exist for each PET, how these PETs could be applied in a hypothetical digital currency system, compatible with the Bank of England’s proposal for a digital pound, and whether these PETs might help safeguard users’ privacy in a digital pound while adhering to regulations related to anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT)."
