This is one of those times when we have something great in our hands and we don't know what to do with it so we just start hating it 😂
We could say that its about the target userbase being considered by the wallet devs more than standard UX practices. We have so many options now, thanks to the network's open nature, that we don't need to be up in arms about this very much.
For the demographic of Bitcoiners who care about control, customisation and self-custody while using Lightning, Zeus is doing an incredible job. I love their UX. Blixt is a other option.
For people who sort of understand lightning and are okay with giving up a certain degree of customisation but still want self-custody, there's Phoenix.
Aqua is for people who want to minimise fees and maybe go between on-chain and LN very often.
Wallet of Satoshi for people who want to use a wallet without thinking about anything under the hood.
Blink gives a way to get access to Dollars while still using Lightning.
Strike is a great interface with fiat.
Cashu wallets for people who are okay with third parties as long as strong privacy guarantees exist.
Alby for people who want the proper LN experience with full control over literally everything from their desktop.
All of these services will likely exist side-by-side, make money (hopefully enough to become incredibly sustainable) and help people use Bitcoin in the way they see fit.
I don't think we will see a standard UX per se. It's going to be quite diverse.
Not a standard UX but you can still have great UX while retaining all of the advanced features. One way to do it is to start the onboarding with simple questions whose answers
will set up the wallet settings for you.
That's a great way to get new users started
