Alby Hub is not for everyone. If you don't want to run a dedicated full Bitcoin node and LND, then you have to be okay with the tradeoffs of trusting Alby's node for all on-chain data, and channel opening and closing. You know... Just like any other self-custody Lightning "wallet" that isn't running on top of your own stack, like Phoenix, Zeus' Olympus node-on-a-phone, or Mutiny before they shut down.

There is no perfect solution. They all have trade-offs and we just have to determine which ones we are okay with.

I'm trying press people into discussing these tradeoffs. It can't be all silver bullets and rainbows. Lighting is retarded complicated and making it easier for the end user is papering over the complexities by adding "hidden" trade offs.
