That's completely misleading. If anybody failed it was the hacker who stopped the mixing process after 1 coinjoin, then merged enough outputs and reused addresses to make it easy to identify them. There wasn't any toxic change in the coinjoin, only coins with lower anonymity scores which would have undergone further mixing had they not interrupted it or used custom settings that are weaker than any of the default mixing options.
I do not know who you are and why you are supportive a deceptive pathological liar.  BUT,

The failure is not the hackers because according to Kruw there is no expertise necessary to maintain Privacy with Wasabi 2.0.  Kruw even GUARANTEES that ANY attempted Blockchain Analysis will result in a dead end because EACH Transaction you make is made FULLY private,
I would love to hear a more recent response from theymos since the development of the new WabiSabi coinjoin protocol.  His major concern was that privacy was not default and that a fair amount of expertise was needed to maintain privacy. With Wasabi 2.0, privacy is default and no expertise is needed.
I don't know what you are talking about.  When you use Wasabi 2.0, any attempted blockchain analysis is guaranteed to result in a dead end because each transaction you make is made fully private.

What would a Bitcoin newbie think reading these quotes?  Am I stupid or do they sound like 'if previously it was necessary to be careful, now when you use Wasabi 2.0 you have zero care because it is impossible to be traced no matter what you do'?

what if the most popular wallets also started implementing warnings and alerts that the inputs coming in their wallets are "possibly tainted"? How would that make the users feel and what would they do? Those coins would be sold right away, and if enough users are "warned/alerted" by their wallet app, it's probable that "tainted" Bitcoins would be valued less than "clean" Bitcoins.
It would be so weird and sense lacking.  Think banknotes but you get less purchasing power the more used they look.  Would mean we would have to play pretend every time.  I could trade my 1 Bitcoin for some body elses 1.05 Bitcoin that were stolen from a kid.  Then I would sell my 1.05 Bitcoin for 1.5 Bitcoin used in a hitman deal.  Makes ZERO sense!  But possible in todays world and not too far from where we are now.
