Is more like a "LN funding source". Is not meant to be a LN wallet or LN node. I mean it runs like a LN node in automatic mode, but to interact with it in a proper way you need something like LNbits or BTCpay on top of it.
I think the best use case for it will be as a funding source for LNbits.

Yeah, that's my understanding. Seems like a great use case for businesses that want to accept lightning payments.

It depends on the definition of a lightning node but I'd describe it as a lightning node without routing/liquidity concerns.
Is not meant to be a LN wallet or LN node.
I think it is meant to be like the Phoenix wallet, but can always receive because it's running on a server (and not on a phone).

The same can be said for LND, can't it?

LND doesn't need lnbits or btcpay. What will be interesting to see if more app devs will build apps that could link a phoenixd backend to it. For example Alby, Zeus, Bitbanana, Lnbits, Walletano.
