Things like this should definitely be expected to come at some point if you think realistically. But yea — kinda earlier than expected, but at the same time I think we already saw mixers get pursued by the authorities so I guess I'm not THAT surprised.

Anyway, wish some devs would just fork the privacy coinjoin stuff and integrate it to Bitcoin Core; if it's possible, that is.

Yeah, I think you, I and anyone paying attention will probably have to expect the worst when it comes to mixers (and I'm sure you guys all know what I'm talking about), and we'd probably have to expect it sooner rather than later. The only hopeful thing I can see is that some mixers still operate a little less visibly than the likes of Wasabi. And, in acknowledgment of above discussions on commercial/profiteering interest, some still choose to operate with clearer goals that would not see them give in to regulator pressure without a fight.
