Close to zero relevance to bitcoin.

That's not wrong. But our tools or dealing with the trust introduced by that are far better than our tools for dealing with custodian trust.
For example, Bitcoin Core doesn't do auto-updates, and does do deterministic builds, precisely to ensure that each and every release has an opportunity for peer.
And the fact is, far more people have lost money from custodians than backdoors inserted into reputable wallets.

Custodial and non-custodial wallets have their own pros and cos.
People who is all against or all pro one of them is just ignoring the needs of everyone else.

If you want a custodial wallet, use gold. Bitcoin is only useful if you reject custody

I don't think you are in a position to tell me what to use or how to use it.
That's the magic of bitcoin. :)

If you're using custody, you aren't using Bitcoin. This has nothing to do with Bitcoin, but that is the magic of whatever company you're being held hostage by and the magic of SQL

is clear that you don't understand that bitcoin is a network but also an asset.
and yes, I can use bitcoin the asset without using the network.
no need to try to change my point of view. save that for yourself :)

Its clear you don't understand the purpose of Bitcoin's existence, the reason why Bitcoin is necessary, and the reason why gold wasn't good enough. But have fun staying poor, getting rekted by rehypothecation, and enabling freebanker freaks.

Why any person would trust PoS is beyond me. These type of systems can easily be manipulated.

"Not your keys not your bitcoin" is the proper expression and bitcoiners can say this with confidence, but it has been adapted to "not your keys not your crypto" and then there's a multisig bug in parity and hundreds of millions of dollars are lost because for whatever reason "crypto" standards are not as high as bitcoin standards historically.
