You need to read more carefully. "Cash-like tokens in your wallet under self-custody." would be correct. Taler has no accounts.

I would expect that, just like other cryptocurrency, "cloud wallets" will manage the tokens themselves for most people, who will gladly give up decentralization for the tiniest bit of convenience
Which is still better than the status quo where only licensed banks can hold digital money for you. I'm fine with everyone having the choice of custodian as long as I can implement a wallet from the open specifications myself.
Licensed banks aren't getting pillaged by cyber criminals though, I'm tech literate and mindful of my security and yet my 3 bitcoins were stolen from Mt Gox. People buy hardware ledgers to create a higher sense of security then those get hacked. The money in my bank so far has never been touched without me having to think about it at all.
