I wouldn't be surprised if authorities try to shut down Wasabi in future...

I don't think it's high up on their priority list. Wasabi's resume shows a willingness to cooperate if needed or even voluntarily before it is needed. I am saying that because they claimed no one was putting pressure on them or asking that they introduce restrictive measures. The problem is, the coins their blockchain analysis partner tags as clean, get tagged as dirty on some centralized exchanges who have their own rules what is tainted and what isn't. Your dirt is dirtier than my dirt.

I also think that is going to be the next step of those who are against the privacy of Bitcoin on chain. It is more likely they will go after the liquidity on exchanges rather that pressure developers.
It is simpler and straight-forward for them, besides, since the software wallets and alike are supposed to be open source, it would be tricky to implement back doors somehow.

The battling grounds will be on the exchanges and also on the use of future proprietary operative systems iterations, like Windows 11-12, so there will be a stealth notification if the system detects the installation of specific software, like Wasabi Wallet or Trezor Bridge.
