Let the hop wars begin then..., I know it's easier for wallet makers to add more hops to anonymizing tech than for chainalysis to deanonymize the transactions....when 90+% of the wallets do this by default, that company will probably have to shut down.
No, that’s not what my comment intended to say. While some exchanges say they will ignore everything after a few hops, blockchain analysis companies can track them fine. Moving Bitcoins between wallet is not anonymity and does not give you plausible deniability against law enforcement.

Moving fractions of bitcoin between 100+ wallets using something like coinjoin absolutely gives you plausable deniability and anonymity, how would anyone know what % is still in your custody?
With enough people doing this, eventually all bitcoin will be tainted. At that point will exchanges start to refuse 100% of all bitcoin being deposited?
I think its more likely chainalysis goes bankrupt.
