For the non-custodial lightning case you kinda need a fixed counterparty, so your options are move or vote. For other use cases of bitcoin this does not apply (but also vote anyway, it doesn’t hurt).

I always thought the LSP model was a bad idea.
It’s that or custodial, so it seems much better 🤷♂️
I use lightning without an LSP, and it works just fine. People just have to use their brain.
I like to think I'm pretty smart. I've had a very hard time running my own LN node. Starting with raspibolt.org my node froze up without me noticing and all my channels were force closed.
Tried again with a small lenovo thinkstation, my ssd Mount didn't persist after restarts, didn't notice for almost a year, again channels are force closed.
I can hear the "skill issue" in the distance. But the truth is running a LN node is hard. Even without the sys admin problems, I never figured out who I should open channels to, how much in those channels to be a good peer on the network. Tbh, I just don't have the time or interest in running a routing node. I much prefer the LSP model.
I use this to find a channel to open with https://bolt.observer/explorer/
The only differences between you and I, is that you gave up where I didn't.
