How do you know the coordinator is not censoring you and checking to see if you fulfill their arbitrary and unknown criteria?  You don't choose the coordinator as the maker, the coordinator chooses you: zkSNACKs, the very same default coordinator as Wasabi Wallet, can be the coordinator of your JoinMarket transaction and you would have no idea.
Because in JoinMarket it does not matter. If a taker wants to show up and start enforcing their own arbitrary rules, then all they achieve is limiting their own liquidity pool, and then getting their UTXOs banned for aborting too many transactions. As a maker it does not affect me in the slightest, and I'll continue to coinjoin with every other taker normally.

In Wasabi if the coordinator censors me, then my only realistic option for a coinjoin is to go and use JoinMarket or Whirlpool instead.

"Doing nothing" is the result of being censored as a maker in JoinMarket.  Your coins just sit there instead of being coordinated.
Wrong again. As above, if one taker decides to enforce their own rules, it does not affect makers in the slightest. They can all do absolutely nothing and their coins will still be coinjoined with regular takers.

What do you mean "then tough shit"?  I've told you multiple times that you can use a different coordinator for WabiSabi coinjoins or run your own
Running your own coordinator is outside the skill set of 99.9% of users and you know it, so maybe ease off on repeating that stupid soundbite.

In terms of third party coordinators - how much volume do they have?
