I'm doing my best attempt at devil's advocate here and trying to construct a scenario that in their eyes might look 'benign' / 'for the users': (objections in parentheses)

  • If your input is rejected from Wasabi CoinJoin, at least it doesn't get confiscated. So you can still figure out what to do with it. (Not sure how though, without coin control)
nopara73 claims that they didn't remove the coin control feature but rather improve it significantly by making it fully automatic and insusceptible to human error and bad privacy practices. But if you think you know better what to do with your own coins and how to spend them in the correct way, you can still choose UTXOs manually using the "secret" combination CTRL+D+C.
If the automatic coin control really works as well as doing it manually, I'm sure it's a great feature for the large amount of people that doesn't know anything about coin control and doesn't use it.
But it shouldn't be made this difficult to enable manual coin control. I would like to see a GUI toggle right up front in the setup screen to be honest. And easy to find afterwards.

I'm not exactly sure if you get a 'preview' before you sign and broadcast a transaction in Wasabi, but it's something Sparrow does and that I really appreciate. With such a view, I may be comfortable to use auto coin control, since I could quickly check myself that it didn't mess anything up and indeed did not jumble UTXOs together or any other weird stuff.
