Isn’t the reason this is special because they will likely be doing this to enable withdrawals via lightning?

I find it fascinating to watch new nodes deploy money onto the Lightning Network in real time.
It's looking more and more likely that this is in fact Kraken's official node, so we could see them deploy hundreds of BTC onto the network over time.

I find more interesting LQWnD nodes https://amboss.space/search?term=bHF3ZA==
I also start making my own "selection" of nodes/peers. https://telegra.ph/List-of-good-nodes-11-25

LQwD nodes are really fascinating too.
They probably won't grow as fast as Kraken since they only hold 150 BTC on their balance sheet, but cool to see a public company deploy in real time.

A more broad distribution around the world is good to create a distributed liquidity. LQWnd nodes also do not use excessive fees, are pretty good as peers
