I think you can get it with a credit card through the Cake Wallet app by buying a different crypto first and then swapping for XMR, this is probably the most user friendly way, though I can’t personally confirm. You can buy it directly on Kraken, though the account setup is some effort. Here is a curated list of reputable ways to acquire, trade and use crypto without KYC, if not providing personal info is a priority for you.
I don’t think it’s actually that terrible for privacy to get it initially with KYC, because all they will know is that you purchased $X of crypto, so it’s comparable to withdrawing cash from a bank.
