What is the benefit of coinjoins when you could just send the sats to two non KYC lightning wallets back to back and then into a fresh non KYC BTC wallet?

Lots of options. Depends on various factors and preferences.

I'm genuinely curious, I've never coinjoined before because it seems expensive.

And slow

I would coinjojn then open channel and loop out sats

But wouldn't you lose significantly more sats in this process?

Well, that’s what you sacrifice to get the privacy

Understood, I'm just curious how my example above isn't just as private. The KYC sats flow from known wallet at an exchange, then to hot wallet like a bluewallet, then wallet of Satoshi on lightning, then let's say Bitcoin Jungle or Zeus lightning, then back to a fresh bluewallett address, then a Sparrow wallet. You lose less sats and all of the sats are different UTXO sets.

To be private you'd have to leave different amounts of sats in all the above wallets. seems like more work to me.
