I just watched the video and it’s full of inaccuracies.

It says that you don’t need to rely on any trusted third parties but the CoinJoin coordinator is a trusted third party and if you’re not running your own node, then you’re relying on another trusted third party.

The lack of coin control is bad for privacy because now Wasabi is in charge of selecting your UTXOs on your behalf which is another trusted third party.

I’d love to be proven wrong but this is not anonymous or private by default.

Wasabi uses client side block filters and Tor by default, so the coordinator is not trusted with your xpub address or IP address even when you don't run a full node.

Also, coin control is not trusted to the coordinator either. Coin selection is done by clients, it's just no longer necessary for users to touch manually because WabiSabi coinjoins make your entire balance private without leaving behind leftovers like Whirlpool does.
