Agreed. Self custody is the only way. Lyn Alden recently went on Stephan Livera's podcast and explained how people who have self costody have disproportionately more power in consensus matters like forks than the ETF fund managers. There's nuance, but my takeaway was that the legal implications of holding on behalf of their investors complicates and slows their decision making, which is disadvantagous in fork scenarios. Haven't lived through this myself, so not 100% on how it works when theres a protocol change. Recommended listening -- a definite eye opener on 'governance' in the Bitcoin network.
