Every other component of a lightning wallet brings similar considerations of trust. If all the components are under the control of the user, then the amount of trust in third parties is minimized, bringing maximum power to the user. Of course, this is a direct trade-off, as with that power comes the responsibility to manage complex software.
Every user must consider their own technical skills before deciding what type of lightning wallet to use. Those with strong technical skills should use a lightning wallet that puts all of the components under the direct control of the user. Those with less technical skill but a desire to control their funds, should choose a _non-custodial_ lightning wallet, even if some of the components (other than the keystore) rely on some trusted third parties.
