Would it really matter which chain analysis provider was used?  Do any of them have any legitimate way of insuring their results are accurate?  What level of accuracy is expected?
Not at all. What's more, is that none of them have any real way of knowing that their results are even consistent with other entities in the field. What one provider deems tainted another might think is clean, and vice versa. This very quick test I performed a few months ago shows one provider who thinks Binance's hot wallet contains approximately 25% blacklisted coins, whereas whatever blockchain analysis firm Binance are using will obviously think their hot wallet is nice a clean.

And what's the criteria for determining what's tainted and what isn't?
Only Wasabi know this. They have appointed themselves judge, jury, and executioner, but the laws are all secret and you don't know if you've broken one until it's too late. How decentralized! Roll Eyes

I'm of the opinion that if you're using bitcoin, you have something to hide.
I'm of the opinion that everyone has something to hide. If you wear clothes, if your house has curtains, if you use a password on your email account, if you close the door in a public restroom when you take a dump, then you are hiding something. You wouldn't let an anonymous stranger in to your house to have a look through your possessions and confiscate anything they think you don't deserve. Why would you let an anonymous strangers look through your transaction history and decide if your coins are "good enough" for them?
