Lightning does have its technical downsides, from an operator point of view. Its just one step along the way to a global solution. It may or may not end up being the last step that solves the problem. Got to remember that lightning is only around 5 years old, still a baby and lots of developments still to be made that haven't even been thought of yet.

Yep, couldn’t zap you
Case in point, zaps go straight to my node and shit breaks.
Yep, very early and not user friendly to run oneself often. Getalby is solid but not the way for self sovereignty
Agreed without a certain amount of technical knowledge and comprehension of the underlying network, a light node is difficult. But then again its unfeasible and unnecessary for everyone to have their own node.
