Agree… nothing wrong with a bit of trust.
Lightning doesn't need to be fully custodial or running your own node, there is some room for a middle ground where you choose who holds your sats, and it comes in the form of hosted channels

Yeah I mean trusting someone to hold a few thousand sats is not really a big deal, and it doesn't mean you need to trust some random stranger, you can trust someone you know who can run a hosted channel. In fact its an incentive for technical people to bring more liquidity on to LN so they can support their friends, family or community and get rewarded for it
