Most lightweight Bitcoin wallets connect to random servers controlled by only-god-know whom and send your wallet addresses them in order to calculate your wallet balance. Those server can collect your addresses, lie about the amounts that those have and do all kind of things. Given that those servers are offered for free to you, even when they have a hosting and maintainance cost, it is reasonable to assume that you are the product. Wasabi on the other hand doesn't use that model. Wasabi allows to to select the server that you want to connect to and it doesn't share any information the selected server, instead in request compact filters which are the same for everybody. Given that Wasabi connects to the selected server using Tor by default and that all clients make the same requests to the server, there is not way a server can identify you and send anything different to you. In summary, it is exactly the opposite to what Bitcoin.org says, Wasabi is design to be private while the rest are, in general, not. And that means that Wasabi doesn't send your info to server as the other do, that reduces the chances of any server to lie to you.
