Well said. Any solution for non-custodial zaps that wants mass adoption has to be as simple as running an app on your phone. Any other requirement, like a connecting to a remote node at home, etc, is going to be a nonstarter for most people. Breez, Phoenix, etc, have made a good enough experience for sending non-custodial lightning payments that they are great solutions for that. They are not great solutions for receiving because they are not always online. Until that solution exists on a mobile device with no requirement for an external node, those griping about custodial wallet usage are wasting their breath and losing influence because they just sound like curmudgeons with ego problems.

All there is for some. Sorry.

I agree and it is seen in the statistics of new users who do not have LN address configured in their profiles.
