Alby Hub is not for everyone. If you don't want to run a dedicated full Bitcoin node and LND, then you have to be okay with the tradeoffs of trusting Alby's node for all on-chain data, and channel opening and closing. You know... Just like any other self-custody Lightning "wallet" that isn't running on top of your own stack, like Phoenix, Zeus' Olympus node-on-a-phone, or Mutiny before they shut down.
There is no perfect solution. They all have trade-offs and we just have to determine which ones we are okay with.
