There are a few issues with what you say but I'll drop a reply later. Busy busy. Thanks for the thoughtful replies so far.

Okay, I'll grant that there may be issues, but that doesn't change my perception. I'm a highly technical person and I got sick of fucking around with Lightning. So we can go on and on, but the demographic you're referring to aren't going to deal with it either. Yes, I want devs to make things easier, but principles and what I want don't negate current reality.
It was really easy to give Primal some fake info and start zapping.
It wasn't easy trying to not do this (which I did). It sucked ass. We aren't ready for the masses from a non-KYC perspective. That's my opinion based on my own experience and it isn't going to change with talk on Nostr.
And I've had a similar experience using Amethyst. It sucks to use and gets in my way constantly. Just another opinion based on experience.
Sorry for late reply. Busy!
Overall id say the issue comes down to convenience/surveillance in Primal and Strike vs more work/better privacy with another Client and your own LN set up.
Sure these things are diff to maneuver around but with effort it can be done and I wanted the noobs to know there was another way. Of course there are always those who won't do it but even if some do I'm happy.
It's up to devs like us to build the tech we want to see so I'm working towards that in my own way. In many ways I'm just learning about this space but privacy options need to be more spoken about imo and I suspect Primal and Strike are perhaps surveillance arms of a yet to be discovered connection between private and public. Well see but I'm watching to see how it plays.
