Hosted channels don't have federated custody, sbw is the best example (dev in war, future of node uncertain, see twitter). Much more unlikely to happen with Fedimint.
Also with Fedimint you have less resource hungry wallets (no pathfinding on the phone) with same or better privacy (don't know exactly).
Only if Federation is distributed geographically. In that scenario it will be either trusted setup or local "community" bank should become relatively large.
If you talk about the Host which is owned by Uncle Jim who went to fight, it will likely mean that all villagers went to fight.

You can choose your federation, if some of the members get unreliable you can withdraw your sats. If you chose the wrong HC and the host rugpulls it's too late

Yes. How I could distinct one federation from another? Wouldn't you suggest that people will use big-brand federations eventually and it ends up with Liquid-like network?

That's up to you, there will be big federations and small ones run by enthusiasts.
