why? where's the difference to a custodian bank?

Vast majority of Nostr users use custodial lightning.

Today's custodial lightning offers no privacy and no censorship resistance.

Cashu offers strong privacy and censorship resistance.

For the minority of user who want to run their own lightning node, the option still exists. Cashu zaps address the reality that most do not.

Maybe one day a fully non-custodial solution will exist with great UX, but it doesn't today.
