well sure, why not. this decentralization thing is mostly a fiction anyway, might as well re-centralize our superficially p2p money network back into a p2h2p model, since that actually works.

The handy thing about LN is that we can have that model without having to trust the hub in the middle. If there's a disagreement of the state of the funds in the channel it falls back to regular bitcoin transactions to resolve it. If such a hub does this too much then they'll have trouble getting others to commit funds to a channel to them.
