I think ecash is a distraction from the mission of scaling Lightning and interoperable LSPs.
LSPs can be regulated just as easily as nostr relays — not as resilient as P2P Lightning — but for now, LSPs are the best option we have around the liquidity issues of Lightning.
Would be neat if I could switch LSPs in my nostr app like I do my list of relays.
Wouldn't switching LSPs require on-chain activity?

Yeah, to open a channel with a new LSP — but this is the cost of non-custodial.
Hence why many people will opt for the low cost and convenicne of custodial services
