 I agree, it's confusing because it seems like the user doesn't have custody

 Sovereign isn't very precise. Non-custodial has much more exact meaning of 'not giving your keys to us'. But I agree that this terminology only matters for small number of people, so it will probably evolve.

 Self custodial makes more sense to me. I have my keys in self custody, I'm the custodian.

 yep, "evolve" is what will happen ..

We talk about UX all the time. This usually relates to the technical side of things. UX in terminology is probably also important.
The vocabulary used in the space is a hard nut to crack for newbies.

 Ya but the confusion is " non custodial" for who?

 Well, maybe you're right, the common meaning of "non-custodial" might not be obvious for most people.
