To add to this:
ACINQ, bfx-lnd0, bfx-lnd1, okx and kraken didn't make it to the top 10, even though I have/had channels with those peers, too. Size alone isn't enough, there needs to be demand, which Binance seems to have quite a lot of.
I'd say the best reason to run a node in the lightning network, taking into account the risk and all costs, is to actually use it. Businesses that depend on their node, or at least provide a decent benefit to their users by offering LN, don't need to care about the overhead. They earn money using some other means.
The exchanges nodes are the first user case we have and they tend to centralize, only a few have all the traffic, maybe in the future, as you said we could see more real traffic from real business.
