why is nobody talking about this?

beyond the scope of zaps I'd say; why do you want to do it via zaps? what do you have in mind?
Just after a cheap way to top up my lightning balance as I don’t run a node etc. I’ve used muun in the past but it can seem costly. Seems something like swaps would be an easy way
Zaps⚡️ are mysterious to pre bitcoiners. It doesn’t sound boring to them. Doesn’t sound like money. It sounds cool.
So what exactly is the architecture/network route of a zap?
To the non-devs out there, it seems like it fetches their address (LNurl in this case?) creates a BOLT11 on their behalf and then sends it. I’ve noticed the first few characters in the invoice from zaps is always lnbc37 or lnbc69 or lnbc2100 etc.
Zaps are basically a custodial model and bolt12 favors noncustodial users
