Exactly. With centralized lending/staking platforms freezing users' funds lately, it's best to choose a non-custodial/decentralized alternative for true peace of mind. "Not your keys, not your coins", right? But most people often prefer convenience on top of security/decentralization, so they will still stake on centralized platforms like Coinbase and Binance. I don't blame the majority since having the responsibility to secure your crypto funds all by yourself is no easy task. It's often easier to just delegate someone else that responsibility (like a trusted third party), than all the other way around.
Besides, no matter where you stake your coins, there's always the risk of losing it all in an instant. Things like software vulnerabilities, the exposure of your private keys, or even market volatility could make you lose your hard-earned crypto funds. Diversification is the only way to minimize risks as much as possible. As long as you don't put all of your life savings in staking, there should be nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts
