As long as you need something running 24-7 + need to manage liquidity + worry about routes/failed payments, it's unlikely to be mass adopted in a self-custodial way.

Everyone does it out of love and as a hobby.

Hosted node solutions like Alby Hub are very good alternatives if you don’t want to maintain hardware. It’s not free, but it’s very fast and it just works.

self hosting LN may never reach mass adoption. not because it sucks, it is growing elegantly actually.

because people are lazy and the habit of offloading the burden of self custody to others has been carved into humans gene
