I don't think it's some "smart move", I'm more convinced it's a consequence of pressure from the US authorities.
Running and using custodial wallets will always be a risk for both parties. Situations like this will drive better solutions forward.
After hearing about channels and capacities, normal people will simply stop using LTN. In the case of Lightning, there simply can't be a more beginner-friendly solution than a custodial wallet.
I’ve talked to the nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm team and I know they’re thinking about all of these challenges. I’d love to see something like a hybrid custodial solution that gets people through the onboarding process and then seamlessly transitions them to managing their own keys when they are ready, and have enough sats to make it worth opening a channel.
