The only "good" argument here for centralization is that 52% of nodes run on either Google Cloud or AWS. That's not good. We make fun of Ethereum for these statistics. But we also don't have to use those large routing nodes either. You can open channels to whomever you want to do business with.

Sorry. It's 52% of the capacity is on Google Cloud or AWS. Only 17% of nodes actually run on those platforms.
You know that was the thing I forgot to add in and it popped in and out of my head as I was writing my post.
Yes the cloud hosting is a problem.
I think a lot of people don’t want hardware failure to be responsible for them losing funds or internet down preventing making a payment. Poor excuses with proper backups etc.
thats a dumb argument though. Who cares if a lot of routing is on cloud providers?
