So first-mover advantage? Since they were integrated first into these products and now will forever be the default?

Btw, what are you thoughts why LND has such a big market share1? Because of VC funding? Branding? Marketing? Network effect?

If you wanted to run a CLN node, the options you have are quite limited in terms of how and where to run it. I think a lot of defaults on shipped products default to LND as well (Umbrel, Voltage, not sure what Start9 defaults to, etc). This adds up in terms of deploy base/accessibility.
