The Lightning network is too complicated. Running a lightning node is almost impossible for a shop owner and his customers without the help of an expert.

As a result, ordinary people will use the nodes of large companies to use lightning, and this is in conflict with the philosophy of lightning as a decentralized network.

Lightning is for nerds, not ordinary people .

It's not though. I have Zeus, it's a full lightning node on my phone. It doesn't require a complex setup. Users can choose from a range of LSPs, the tech continues to improve. I agree absolutely that we should always be pushing for better UX, especially for merchants since a transaction network with <1% fees is truly a killer app for them if we can make it easy to use.

OK, I downloaded and ran the ZEUS app. As you can see in the picture, I live in a country under US boycott and I cannot use the LSP that ZEUS connects to, I should find a another LSP.
