Archive specifically hates privacy. They want EDNS info and if you don't give it to them they will serve you garbage. They probably hate privacy because it makes it easier to deal with bots, so it's not really archive's fault, nor is it the end users fault for not wanting to share PII. Ultimately there are a lot of bad actors on the internet and that makes it hard to have nice things. It works for you because you are willing to have your rights eroded for comfort (a totally valid choice).
