Yeah wasabi started to black list addresses. That upset a lot of privacy maxis. But if you listen to max on why he made that decision it made sense to me. I forget what podcast he went on I think it’s the crypto voices one:
Max made the following points
  1. It’s his business and he can run it the way he wants
  2. Wasabi is open source any one can copy it and run it without black listing
  3. Makes a point of trying to stop criminals and bad guys once somewhat identified by law enforcement. Helps him and his customers sleep well at night.
The other option is Samurai Wallet which is max privacy.

Thanks! But both should offer comparable anonymity, shouldn't they?

Yes anonymity is a probability game for chain analysis companies.
So according to the privacy maxis the KYC exchange will always know how much purchased but after you mix they will have a tougher time tracking your movements the best way to protect your privacy is to stay away from exchanges all together. Then a utxo is never linked to your real identity
