It's not binary. It's a a gradient. You don't need the same self control to self custody 1000 sats as you need to to self custody a million sats.
Can everyone be trusted to keep 1 BTC safe for a decade? Probably not.
But you can probably trust most 10 year olds to keep 1000 sats safe for a month and most adults to keep 100k sats safe for a year.

It's not about the amount of sats. It's about the relative importance of that amount to your life. For some, 100k sats is life-changing money, for others it's more like 10 BTC. In any case, people will want to hold more than just lunch money in bitcoin. So your argument is moot.
Gradual responsability for different amounts is moot?
Remind me how it works with dollars and euros...
It's not gradual. That's why.
Bitcoin appreciates much faster than people update their security concepts. Plus, once it clicks with bitcoin, you ape in.
Also, like I said, the amount isn't the relevant factor. It's the relative value to your life, and that's affected by a lot of things.
It's suddenly then suddenly.
In general, though, your right. Of course, small amounts require different precautions than larger amounts.
