I appreciate Alby’s push to make self custodial easier but I feel that they are refusing to acknowledge that they’re leaving a lot of their core user base behind with this move. It irks me that they do not even want to acknowledge it. Custodial services have a place and for most people it serves what they need. As it stands, most nostr users will simply move to other custodians, or use cashu wallets which are still custodial and are even less proven and reliable than Lightning.

Most Cashu wallets are already really solid, not sure what you mean by less reliable
