And the fact that you can, at any moment, withdraw the total amount of the hosted sats instantly as final settlement alleviates a lot of the risk of tradfi custodial services. And FOR SURE the fact that I can interact without submitting personal data is the beauty of being built on the LN.

You're trusting SN to honor the withdrawal request, right? Technically, you don't have control of the sat balance associated with your SN account right now.

True, but it is a better dynamic for building trust. It is a direct relationship between SN and the user. No intermediaries have to be trusted to complete the transaction.
