Reusing addresses is bad for privacy, there's no denying that at all.
But at the end of the day, Bitcoin is non custodial: Your keys, your coins. If you choose to send to an already used address, the coordinator can't do anything to stop you in a meaningful way.
Don’t blame the user! I am talking about symmetric address reuse (same address used on both sides of the transaction)
Would it be fair to blame the user if they imported the seed into a second client running simultaneously? This would cause address collisions since each client is not aware of transactions the other is signing.
That’s what I meant with „genuinely interested“. I condemn the cooperation of wasabi with chain anal. But I have a feeling the the adress reuse thing is an extreme provoked edge case. Hinting a weak coinjoin protocol but not really relevant in a practical use scenario
