You'll get no argument from me on that! People are generally unaware of the tradeoffs of ANY given service. They are also generally unwilling to put in the work to educate themselves in how to mitigate them, even with software that allows for it.
The answer to lack of competition, though, is more people who are capable of doing so building alternatives that are approachable for users.
For instance, I am happily using Datum to compose my own block templates from my own node's mempool, but only because it was easy to install and configure for someone of my limited technical literacy. Expect me to compile something from source to be able to use it, though, and I am out. As are many others of my level of grug brain and lower.
Make me an option that is even remotely as useful to me as Alby Hub, just as easy to run, and gets rid of some of the existing tradeoffs and I will happily use it instead.
