I've been strongly considering buying one of the new easy-mode LN devices like the Casa Hodl.

suggest research the nodl https://www.nodl.it/
more money but more features and more to come

Anyone here have one of those casa hodl nodes?

I mean, what is stopping to replicate the software and run it on your own raspi+hdd?

Does it include some state of the art proprietary software like a gui/menu system for easy management or what?

I am ok with business doing business, of course, but I am surprised anyone haven't already come with a full free software implementation otherwise the premium for the convenience of a "ready-to-go" device wouldn't be so high.

casa already released the code, didn't they? https://blog.keys.casa/open-sourcing-the-casa-node/

In order to improve security for Casa customers we plan to open source as much of our trust-critical code as possible.

As a first big step, today we are open sourcing the code for the Casa Node. We are also announcing the first parts of a responsible disclosure and bug bounty program.

It looks like that "open sourcing" is something relatively recent starting two weeks ago and also that it is not clear if it will include ALL software. That would explain the current premium.
