What do you mean? Computers don’t fail 😐
Seriously, the number of people that do not understand that making something available 24x7 is hard. You may be lucky, but it will get you eventually.

💯 Or even if your computer doesn’t fail, but your power/internet goes out or is unreliable. Hopefully you have backup power, and hopefully you can get your node back online before you have to worry about your funds being at risk of loss. The first time I went on vacation out of state and had to worry about whether I had planned adequately for those things it gave me a new perspective on the idea of running your own node. There are many factors to consider before someone can fairly say someone else “should” run their own node.
computers fail, many lost funds on umbrel. just do a brave search or search umbrel groups. lightning is not bitcoin. it is a different system. centralized and not private. not safe for large amounts
