A centralized coinjoin coordinator is strictly better than a centralized custodian because a coinjoin coordinator is not able to give your coins or reveal any user data to a government even if they were forced to.
Sure, and it's safer to not hand over your coins to anybody if you had the choice, but it is irrelevant to what a mixer is supposed to do; and that is mix and ensure fungibility and privacy. Two of which are now questionably offered by Wasabi's default coordinator.

A centralized mixer is just someone else's wallet, it does nothing ensure fungibility or privacy because they are able to deanonymize their customers.

That's not how it works, you do not have to identify yourself to register a UTXO for coinjoin.
Quote the part where I said you have to identify yourself to register a UTXO for Coin Join.  Because at this point you are really conveniently interpreting what you read your own way and answering very conveniently and cunningly to very strong and valid arguments users have posted here.

Okay, I've quoted the part where you said you have to identify yourself to register a UTXO for coinjoin:

they only allow UTXO's they trust to enter the Coin Join process. ... If you have say 20 UTXO's but you know who each of them is.

I will organize a very select party where I will invite 10 people that I specifically choose.?

Coinjoins are not "very select parties" where 10 people are "specifically chosen" to attend.  It's the exact opposite:  Coinjoins are open parties where the dancers specifically choose which party to attend.

What is your relation to Wasabi?
