Unfortunately some users are stuck in using only Phoenix wallet or run a small public routing node and will never know all the possibilities and features of LN.

I notice that is not mentioning any details about using public and private nodes.

Also using a public node as a decoy, like a personal LSP for multiple private nodes.

Also not mentioning about using 0-conf channels, really underrated by many people and that cannot leave any trace onchain.

There are many ways to add more privacy when using LN and I do not understand why these articles are focusing ONLY on public nodes.

Public nodes are for public routing, not to keep your node private. That's why are named PUBLIC like public blockchain.

And I will add again some diagrams in addition:
