I think it is kind of good news in a way. They stated they decided to do this because they were boot strapping the lndhub ecosystem but now they feel the self custody solutions are quality enough to not need a centralized system. I think keeping that consideration in mind it's good news we've progressed this far.

That being said I have to wonder if this is more to do with avoiding regulators as being one of the top custodial solutions for lightning. With zaps taking off and more and more value routing through them I have to wonder if regulatory issues were the real factor.
