There’s a reason metamask is the most popular wallet in the world because it’s user friendly, multi chain and allows for self-custody. Obviously not as secure as a cold wallet buts it’s much bigger improvement that custodial lightning wallets.

I imagine if dc was implemented everyone would use a metamask style wallet that allows for various sidechains and main chain bitcoin with user friendly atomic swaps and peg ins and peg outs of sidechains.

That’s how I see it.

Barriers to entry for that model are no different than what we have now. It's very simple to install Phoenix today and have a self-custodial lightning wallet - but apparently people don't

You have to pay to open lightning channels and transactions sometimes fail due to liquidity issues. This is not a good UX or model.

To open a sidechain wallet would cost nothing and transactions are executed by miners.
