Here's the trade-off. If you make one mistake all your UTXO history is linked. That may be ok for some, it may not be for others. Bottom line is it is a tool. I will never say everyone should always coin-join. That's the point of this discussion. The trade-offs. This isn't an absolute issue. Bitcoin is not private by default. Huge myth that I will not perpetrate.
I guess that's where we have a different vision. I think Bitcoin is 100% private by default (proven by the SN case study), and some users have chosen to opt in to bad privacy practices either out of ignorance or convenience. If you don't opt in to losing your privacy, then you stay private like SN did.
Anyways I appreciate the dialogue, good luck with your privacy quest! My final comment on the topic is just that VC backed coinjoins are absurdly expensive. If you must coinjoin for some weird inexplicable reason, try joinmarket.
