I think all the broad categories Alex suggested have a common theme: all of them are public forwarding nodes.
What I point out in this writeup is the strategy that ANY public forwarding node may have.
For example, a node may select passive rebalance, wall, or low fee forwarding strategies, independently of whether or not it is JUST a forwarding node, or is a merchant / personal node in addition to being a forwarding node, or is selling inbound liquidity elsewhere, or is selling onchain-offchain swap services, or multiple of those.
It seems to me that the general forwarding strategy is orthogonal to the strategies that Alex presented.
