That's not at all how a coinjoin transaction works, coordinators do not have the ability to deanonymize the participants of a coinjoin even if they wanted to.
Except of course when Wasabi reuses address and combines mixed outputs with unmixed inputs...

Again, that's not at all how a coinjoin transaction works.  The coordinator does not choose the output addresses of the participants, the participants choose their own output addresses.

I buy my food in a local store that accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment. As my income comes from the signature campaign, my deposit address is public in this forum, and I don't want the owner of the store to know my virtual identity, I have been using Wasabi for a long time.

I understand that some people may be using this service for nefarious purposes, but we are returning to the eternal dilemma: is total control on the population worth to catch a few criminals? why don't they simply strengthen traditional methods to catch them and leave the other normal people in peace? because we have reached a point in the state of the art where global control is more efficient, I guess. But, doesn't this go against the inherent human rights? People is not aware of what can be done with their economical data.

For example, I am witnessing how supermarkets in my country are raising the prices of some products more than 50% in the last year, and this could not have been done without all the information they've collected thanks to their loyalty cards. By giving away our data we are giving not only Governments, but also big companies, an even greater advantage on the individuals, and the ability to do whatever they want with us. In an ideal world, this would be used for common benefit. But I don't think we live there.

Perfect real world use case for Wasabi  Cool  Merchants should not know the source of their customer's income, how much money they have leftover in their wallet, or where else that customer spends their money.
