It would be theoretically possible to issue everyone on đť•Ź a Lightning Wallet permissionlessly just the same way Bankr did for Ethereum.
One can also make an agent that would facilitate zaps.
Would this be a good thing for the LN ecosystem? Or is it straying away from some ideals/principles?

No because you would not own the keys to your crypto, X would.
It wouldn’t be issued by X.
The point still stands that you don't truly own the wallet, so it's not even YOUR wallet, so to speak.
Well, unless if you’re running your own node, you don’t truly own your wallet anyway. So yeah, the 𝕏 one is custodial like most of the wallets here are, but you could always command the agent to transfer it to a wallet you custody when you’re ready/if you’re ready.
What's the point of zaps if you don't know who sent it to you?
If Twitter displayed zaps, great đź‘Ť.
I’m starting to think I should have teed it up with explaining how Bankr works (which was launched permissionlessly by a user named Deployer). It’s built on X, but not by X.
The short version it is an AI agent that can be summoned to transfer tokens to other X users, swap tokens, and I believe now it even supports launching tokens.
Effectively everyone on X now has an Ethereum address, although it isn’t custodied by the user. However, they, and only they, can send it to a wallet they do custody when they want, if they want.
Hope that sets up the scene better :)
