Probably true today. Maybe not in the future, when custodians could get pressured to freeze funds. Controllers just haven’t started cracking down on Lightning yet, but if the network grows big enough, they will. If 90% of Lightning capacity is custodial and centralised in just a handful of big liquidity providers at that time, we will be in a world of hurt. Situation is bad enough as it is even today.
