You are 100% correct ordinals has absolutely nothing to do with coinjoins.
Ordinals are filling blocks with transactions that are obviously not coinjoins. And the rest is Crateology.

As I said take out ordinals, take out known TXs, take out what else they know from other services and you have a very small pool of txs moving at the moment.
Keeping an eye on all of them and figuring out what is going on where is a lot less difficult then if all the txs in blocks were 'real' transactions.

You don't seem to understand: Equal output coinjoins from JoinMarket, Whirlpool, and WabiSabi have a distinct on chain footprint that distinguish them from all other transactions regardless of whether those transactions are ordinals or not.

Mempool.space seems to have applied the "Coinjoin" tag to this Whirlpool tx0 transactions as well: https://mempool.space/tx/97a6b985f48c2faf4a3cb7c1e4b5a0ac230fd59aac33723101de9dd144bd735e
