Custodial is a great way to onboard new people easily. People these days still forget their passwords and a private key or backing up channels is a lot more technical process.

Getting more people on board even with custodial accounts has benefits to the network, price, and use cases.

With that being said… Not your key, not your coins.

Check out phoenix or breez

I’m aware of them and prefer Breez. Newer people may not want to spend sats creating the initial channel.

Still for onboarding, WOS is simple. I think of it as training wheels on a bike and then taking them off as a person learns.
