Ultimately it's just interactive coinjoin versus non-interactive coinjoin, so what is the big deal about taking about its use by criminals. As far as I know, there's nothing stopping them from using Wasabi Wallet for anonymity purposes - as blacklisting is not implemented yet (and even if it was implemented, the blacklist will catch some but it cannot prevent a tumbling of coins derived from a hack if it is not reported quickly enough) - just as they are using non-interactive mixers for this purpose currently.

All coinjoins are interactive, I'm not sure what you mean.

Mixers cannot bring all its users online to coordinate the creation of their transactions so their coinjoins are non-interactive as all transactions are made by the mixer with no contribution from the user. That I know.

I assumed that the Wasabi wallet application checks in with the coordinator to see which other users are online so that the wallet can prompt them for the password or similar that will allow the transactions to be created for interactive coinjoin. Hence, Wasabi Wallet is using interactive coinjoin.
