This change would affect Monero too. If you buy Monero through any sort of company that is following the law, they will have to enforce this on their customers.
As in, if you tried to buy a house, you'd still need to go through money laundering checks. You'd always be limited to small value transactions if you never wanted to pass some sort of KYC/money laundering check at some point.
I.E.: You got paid in Moneros, etc...
