The old rules make it proceedurally hard to get warrant, not substantively hard. You could have a website openly selling sex slaves hidden behind TOR and you couldn't get a warrant because nobody knows where the site is located.

Meanwhile, the Feds can easily get a warrant some some innocuous stuff like selling raw milk because locating a real business is easy.

This just deals with an issue of where you know the specific server or network of servers you want to search but can't know where they are physically located. This just enable a dragnet to go search random computers.
