You are wrong. BLW wasn't "bandoned", just migrated to SBW (Simple Bitcoin Wallet) and hosted channels are separate thing and are a good thing. There are many HC now, fiatjaf and others are offering them now. You also can offer HC if you run a node.
I personally lost sats in BLW, and know others who also couldn't get their sats because the BLW node was down for good. I see no benefits of hosted channels at all.
