Migrate my self-hosted Hub to Alby Cloud in one click

Currently I can migrate my Hub using a migration file. That works great, but requires to select Alby Cloud on getalby.com/subscription/new and then upload the file during the setup process.
I would like to upgrade with one click by selecting Alby Cloud within my current self-hosted Hub.

Our current migration flow is beautiful...to my eyes, and only in comparison to what existed years ago.
But for someone starting it is rather complicated to just download the free Hub for desktop then "upgrade" to the cloud.
Currently they have to do these steps to migrate to the Cloud:
Go to getalby.com/dashboard
Go to Wallet Configuration
→ Unlink, then link again and select Cloud.
This time when setting up the hub, choose Advanced options (do not pick a new unlock password) and follow the migration steps:

As you see, it is a lot of steps for a DIY free user that just wants to "Upgrade" to the Cloud
