Would anyone be willing to either point to a good explanation or explain the privacy improvement of using the embedded LND node with zeus both for sending and receiving lightning payments ?

No, pathfinding is done on the embedded node on the phone and therefore OLYMPUS (=Zeus LSP) does not know any payment details like destination and amount. Like any other hop, it can only see that something is sent. ACINQ (Phoenix wallet) is different because they do pathfinding for you. ACINQ node serves as a "trampoline node", meaning it is not a normal protocol-conform hop, but more like a relay for your payment. They know your payment details like destination and amount.
OLYMPUS cannot know if there are more hops. So even if the payment is like this: Sender -> OLYMPUS -> You Then OLYMPUS has no chance to find out if "Sender" is actually the sender or just another hop.
Thanks friend, thorough and easy to understand.
