Trezor is working with Wasabi for Coinjoins, Wasabi is working with chananalysis companies and it uses to the best of my knowledge from the research I have done, peelchain instead of the recommended ZeroLink, it is advised to verify, do the research and not trust. I have done mine and wouldn't touch Wasabi, nor Trezor after this business deal with Wasabi.
Few articles on the matter:
- https://cryptoslate.com/are-you-exposed-how-chainalysis-cracked-the-wasabi-bitcoin-privacy-wallet/
- https://protos.com/bitcoin-mixing-coinjoin-wasabi-chainalysis-samourai-privacy-wallet/
- According to Bitcoin developer LaurentMT, anyone interested in tracing Wasabiâs mixed coins could do so without advanced tools. Chainalysis simply used a public flaw in the Wasabi mixing service.
- Experts have known about a flaw in peelchain-centric designs since July 2019. A member of Samourai described how he could trace 10 BTC ($389,000) through Wasabiâs mixing process.

- revelations from journalist Laura Shinâs new book The Cryptopians, which tracks Ethereumâs early years, showed that Wasabi failed to follow the aptly named protocol ZeroLink.
- ZeroLink requires âzero linkingâ of mixed and unmixed Bitcoin. Wasabi used a ZeroLink alternative called âpeelchain.â The wallet was released in 2017

That criticism is against Wasabi 1.0, Wasabi 2.0 uses WabiSabi coinjoins, which are different, there is no "toxic change" anymore.

Don't care. They actively support our enemy (shitcoins), so they are an enemy aswell in my eyes. Bitcoin only, O-N-L-Y, is the only path

Brand loyalty - they weren't always full of shitcoins. It's not always simple for people to change brands, it's like apathy but not quite. What's that word for finding comfort in the familiar?
