I think the fees are lower as WoS is one of the biggest lightning nodes.
Phoenix opens up a channel with them but you hold the keys. They charge a little on start up & also more than other nodes for sending sats out through their channel.
Like with everything there is a tradeoff. I think WoS is the best orange pill for noobs, & when they dig deeper get them to set up a Phoenix, OBW or Blixt self custodial wallet
Yeah a smooth transition is WoS -> Phoenix / Breez -> OBW / Bluewallet LDK -> Blixt. In this way they pass through all the steps and learn more and more. Blixt is too complex for a total noob, is a real LND node in your mobile and not everybody will understand it in the beginning.
