Is it a security minded outlook? Having the ability to see the master seed for back up purposes OUTSIDE of the Lightning channel states is of use to me and yet I find myself having to go into command-line and decrypting hsm secrets.

I love Core Lightning, and LND's Azeed is no better here. I am just curious if this was a conscious choice.

We do have a BIP32 for the onchain funds, so you could have an external watcher. We should add an xpub to getinfo: want to file an issue requesting it for next release?

It won't cover *all* your funds, since unilateral closes go to weird time locked addresses, but it would cover most.

We don't generally give out privkeys: they stay in the hsm daemon for design reasons (hence the external tool to extract them).
