While I wouldn't use the actions of drug dealers as proxies of value, that said, we can infer the privacy strengths of Monero are greater than those of BTC.
I would, it's literally the only signal that matters. How are people making the censorship resistant transactions the state wants to stop, at great personal risk, successfully while evading arrest and seizure/capture of funds? What tool are they using? This is the only thing that actually matters for any cryptocurrency.
The state actors that want to transact freely outside of sanctions will eventually arrive to the same conclusions as the criminals.
