Though, this often comes wit Heavy users of the lightning network, such as routing node operators, often run lightning nodes on dedicated hardware. Lightning nodes require 24/7 uptime, which is much easier to achieve with dedicated hardware. Lightning nodes also require the private keys to be stored on the same device.
