Russia just started to block tor. The chances that both transaction parties manage to use a tor bridge are negligible, so realistically most people are left with the manual 3 step transaction method. As we see with the Chinese mining pools and exchanges (tor is not an option in China too), this is detrimental to the desire path[0] of many people, where they expect the automatable realtime transaction that they are used to from other cryptocurrencies. Security only seems to be a secondary concern. Since Grin does not enforce any transaction method, people are using a parallel standard for realtime transactions[1]. They are using their desire path and ignore the paths that are provided by the slatepack standard. I think this situation is partially a result of not yet having a secure and scalable solution for the actual desire path.
