I agree coinjoins aren't the way but these are definitely not the reasons why
Yes, continue....

What are the reasons?

When you do a coinjoin it is extremely obvious on-chain. This essentially doxxes you as a privacy seeking user, and we've seen this bite people in the ass before with exchanges asking what they were doing pre-coinjoin.
There are other reasons as well like how long they can take to get sufficient privacy while also being expensive.

You mean a perfectly normal person?
Denormalizing privacy seeking behavior is really bad. Everyone should coinjoin specifically to normalize it. The same way everyone should pay cash.

we aren't going to get everyone to coinjoin because it is expensive. we should be able to blend into the crowd, not make a separate crowd just for privacy people

I get your point about the implications and potential to bite asses.
I suppose it's just a sad fact that it's a sad world, with no privacy.
The expense is subjective. I guess if someone wants to pay for encrypted email services, this is completely warranted and legal. I could not use private communications to transact?
Or we are going to move to all communications are monitored. Even letters in the post?
