If you use ZeusPay and Zeus's "node in phone", it utilizes hodl invoices so you can receive payments even when your app is closed/offline. Apparently this has caused issues with channel force closures and Mutiny blocks payments to ZeusPay addresses by default, but allows users to choose to send them anyway if they're willing to accept the risk of their channel force closing.

Probably depends who you asks 😂 They're just another way to use the lightning network. But force closes are costly, and generally unwanted. So if they're contributing to force closes here, then for those users it's a bad thing I guess.
