It is already happening. Just because they are doing it less, doesn't mean they won't do it more in the future.
I know, and I think I've commented my part on that thread. But, just because one does it, doesn't make it the rule. Pretty much the opposite; the rest will find incentive to be as censorship resistant as possible. When Wasabi started with the blacklisting, we weren't afraid if the rest of the solutions would start censoring. Instead, their competitors saw this as the chance to demonstrate how free of censorship they are.

The problem is if pools ever manage to reorg for the sake of censoring, which, as I had outlined there, would be the day to abandon Bitcoin.

The pools can't go against the law enforcement. They are companies obliged to pay tax to the government. When the gov ask them to censor a certain transaction, they will obey it. Or else...

It is already over imo. We are on borrowed time. Mind that it doesn't mean bitcoin will go to zero. That's not what I mean if anyone is worried about that.
