I fully understand that having funds in a LN node is not the same as having a singlesig layer1 wallet. I also appreciate you explaining it clearly in your comment for others to understand. However I want to focus on the really important thing here: I've been running 2 LN nodes for almost 2 years and they were absolutely secure until the point I connected BTCPay server to one of the nodes.
The important point here is: IF I had never installed a buggy platform like BTCPay + LNbank, the 4 BTC would still be there.
That might not be true. We always have to keep in mind that there could be unknown vulnerabilities in the software we use. Any hot wallet is risky.

Exactly. Sometimes they like to wait until the right time to withdraw your funds. They could have had an exploit in your software long before this happened.
