Wasabi is being used with Hardware wallet to protect privacy but when unlocking most hardware wallet the xpubs can be read by every other app running on the machine and any website open in a browser. Given some people can have tons of crypto related website open this is a significant privacy risk.

This does not happen for Trezor if the passphrase is used.
