I don't understand why lnurl-over-tor is not embraced by wallets and LN node software.

LND/CLN/ACINQ/LDK could create a tor hidden service and passively listen to invoice requests. They would thus have lnurl built-in support without the need for separate software (satdress, btcpayserver, ligess, etc), a domain name and ports 443/80 open.

Wallets could just support fetching invoices from onion addresses by leveraging their existent Tor support.

It would immensely help lnurl usage for users running their own node.

I know that bolt12 should obsolete lnurl, but until it actually ships, lnurl-over-tor should be an easy fix.

There's a working LNURL-over-nostr and LNURL-over-email , see Oak Node on Umbrel.

It has a bot interface (over Nostr DMs or over PGP-encrypted email) and can do most basic LNURL-style operations: https://oak-node.net/file?name=doc/ons/ons-1.md&ci=trunk
