I think the argument for doing something like this is that while, yes, you have to trust the validators of the alternative blockchain to not create a malicious private fork, the operator assumption with the bridge does reduce to one operator.
Also, while all validators operating in a threshold signature scheme is equivalent trust assumptions in my opinion (BitVM actually introduces another trust assumption here), it's unrealistic to expect all validators in a PoS blockchain to additionally become bridge operators.
So I've come around to this notion of "BitVM as a service."
