What exactly is needed to run such a service? honestly if both wallets are completely open source, then there is no need to point fingers and have such dramas, one could simply fork the wallet and start a new service, a better one.

At bare minimum, a server and ability to follow guide about setting either coinjoin software. But gaining people's trust and liquidity to perform CoinJoin isn't simple.

In any of these 2 cases though, you'll still be running a centralized service. As a coordinator, authorities will be able to pressure you into shutting down, implementing privacy-breaking changes and helping them deanonymizing users through blockchain analysis. Maybe they'll force you to partner with a blockchain analysis firm, even. Does some of this sound familiar?

That's true, although authority would have harder time pressure anonymous person/group.

One solution would be to switch to decentralized approaches, such as JoinMarket.

That's valid solution, although it remain less popular since it require you to run full node[1] is AFAIK there's still no user-friendly interface which can rival Wasabi or Samourai wallet.
