 I think it's dangerous to tell people that a cashew wallet is non-custodial.
Unless you're running the mint It's just not true.  
 He didn’t, did he? 
 I am starting to use the word “less-custodial” 
 It's not any "less custodial" than wallet of Satoshi.
The operator of the mint can rug at any time.  
 If they move you to a different jail cell of your choice each day, you're still in jail. 
 Fair. But it's not any "less custodial"  than wallet of Satoshi.
Whoever's operating the mint can rug at any time.
I'm not knocking the tech. (I like and use cashew) It's just not being presented very honestly here.  
 What is the better way to communicate to a non technical user that walletofsatoshi lightning address is tied to 1 company whereas npub.cash can live independently of lightning mode. 
 Probably better to say it's a more private custodial solution
