By "deniability" you mean the defence that developers are not responsible for the usage of the software they produce?

I think it's a bit different here, since relays are running code, not writing it.

Of course TornadoCash was different, but the idea is that saying "I don't / can't control it" seems not good enough. And with relays, it would be even worse since they actually do control their own servers.
