They don't market themselves as a mixer, but effectively that's what they offer. Their purpose is to obfuscate funds.

What "they" offer, is a privacy-orientated wallet. We have way too less of such wallets implementing new features and improvements.
CoinJoin is a decentralized way to regain some level of anonymity by mixing funds with other participants.

You are free to use your SPV wallet which communicates with a 3rd party server telling them all of your addresses, the amount of BTC you own, all your transactions, your IP address and therefore a relatively precise geo location.
But not everyone has to use such a privacy-invading wallet. And IMO wasabi actually is the best privacy preserving SPV desktop wallet available.

Yes, I agree. The mixer reference is not a negative connotation.

Wasabi is excellent. However, they're under investigation by Europol. Chainalysis did an 3-week investigation for them and according to their findings, 30% of the funds washed come from the dark market. Remember, this is similar to what happened to bestmixer.io before they got shut down.
