I think some of them have public node options, which would probably help. Requiring my wallet to be a node with the full or I believe even pruned (1/3) was clunky as hell. You may be able to run a node and connect to it similar to LN. I just got fed up with it at the time and it didnt seem worth my full investment given how little it was adopted. I'm all for them improving it, but the ecosystem still seems as small as it was. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin ecosystem has so much shit within it that I can't even know it all.
