fair point, tho there is nuance in it, specially breezsdk (i'm assuming you meant that not the old wallet app).

with breezsdk/greenlight you're running a remote signer, not a node. which is for a lot of use cases better if not just a lot easier. but it does come with couple caveats that people should be aware of.

with phoenixd you're tired to phoenix and their lsp. both have some privacy implications since you're potentially leaking some information to the lsp, or at least they are in a slightly more priviledged position over you as a random node you'd open a channel to
