Irrelevant. The individuals concerned do not want their identities shared. Previous mistakes in leaking private information do not give other people permission to share that information as widely as possible. If you had accidentally linked your forum name to your real life identity on some other site, you would be rightly very angry if I started plastering that information all over the forum.
As I said above, the landing page of wasabiwallet.io says "Privacy is your ability to selectively reveal yourself to the world". Sharing information about someone they do not wish to be shared violates this completely. It exposes Wasabi's complete hypocrisy and complete disregard for privacy.

Does such a thing exist? Any CEX will implement KYC in a heartbeat if failing to do so would affect their profits.
The thing I don't like with DEX is that they're by definition more costly for the buyer and seller.
