Whenever an entity bans Monero, it indicates that they are behaving in an autocratic way. Autocratic entities tend to implement more rules and more punishments. Thus, people will want to protect their privacy even more, for fear of these punishments. Thus, people will desire Monero more.

In a perfectly world, entities like governments, crypto exchanges, or even your social circle would not care about conducting surveillance or exacting punishments. In that world, Monero would be pointless. Under a tyrannical ruler, it is priceless.
