If that was an "attack" on the Lightning Network, should it then be that someone else or more people must open channels that are worth as much liquidity in Bitcoin to balance it out?

This wouldn't solve the problem completely. Other people would have to open channels to those who are trying to balance it out in order to preserve connectivity between the users of the Lightning Network. As I mentioned earlier, if the person who controls that node decides to shut it down then it might result in many payments not going through.

I hope he does decide to close it down without warning. Hahaha. That would make a good experiment on Lightning's robustness. But I believe if there are enough connections among nodes in the network, routing payments will still go through but maybe with slight delays?
