We are working on a new feature where the fee can be paid upfront before deposit, either via a LN payment or separate bitcoin tx, enabling users to have no on-chain link to mercury.

Interesting indeed. So users will have the option to either hide the fact they are using Mercury if they don't want someone knowing that their coins haves been mixed/swapped, but can also make it obvious they have used Mercury if they don't want to be linked to the other user's history. Cool feature. I'll definitely check it out again sometime.

Are you sure they are giving a list of inputs to a blockchain analysis company, as opposed to getting a list of addresses/inputs that should be blacklisted that they can compare proposed inputs to?

No idea, and given how shady Wasabi have been about this whole thing, don't expect them to be honest and tell us. Any "privacy" firm coordinating with blockchain analysis firms is not to be trusted though, and especially not one which is actively using your coinjoin fees to pay blockchain analysis firms.

Even if it is the former, it would be unusual for a company to use data from their paying customers for other commercial purposes.

Lol what? Not sure if I've misunderstood you here or you are being incredibly naive? Pretty much every big business is monetizing your data, from Coinbase to Coinmarketcap, from Facebook to Google, from your health insurance provider to your streaming content provider.
