It then makes logical sense for them. They want to provide their services to institutions who merely want a mixer/tumber, but without "the taint".
Taint only exists because institutions like Wasabi perpetuate this nonsense.
I agree, but this is the point, "they" don't and "they" can lock us out of our accounts from "their" services/confiscate our coins.
I don't know which services you are talking about, since governments and regulators don't directly run services where you deposit coins or might have an open account.
Do you believe that a user who mixed/tumbled his/her coins through a sanctioned mixer would be accepted by exchanges like Coinbase, or Bitstamp?
But if you're talking for instance about a centralized exchange; first and foremost you shouldn't be worried about your account being closed, since you shouldn't have any funds on there anyway.
Me? You're right, I wouldn't have any funds there because I'm a poor pleb. Hahaha. But that's not the point, plus you nor I, are not the only users of Bitcoin. There will be other users who might be willing to accept the trade-off of being a WasabiWallet user.
And if you're worried that some service or platform could deny your payments if they haven't been green-lighted by Chainalysis / them (whoever that may be), then consider switching platform or telling them to stop using payment providers that filter and censor certain Bitcoin payments.
It's not Chainalysis that's giving the greenlight ser, it's those services not wanting "tainted coins" according to their definition, whoever that may be, that made Chainalysis a necessity.
I personally agree that the user should consider switching to services that did not censor transactions, but that's not the point. Because another user could consider not to switch, accept the trade-off and continue with Wasabi, knowing that he won't have problems sending his coins anywhere.
