What's your estimate on how many people can have self sovereign lightning channels on bitcoin? Mine is less than 1 billion. So even if the entirety of the baby boomer generation didn't use lightning, (half billion globally) we will still have to prune the global user base. So how are the 6 billion others supposed to use lightning?

Almost like LN doesn't actually solve the scaling problem...

You can just use on-chain bitcoin with custodians too, an L2 isn't necessary. Just tell strike you want to pay somebody and they can update their spreadsheet.

Problem solved.

I don't want 20k UTXOs so I prefer to receive on lightning, to my cashu wallet mind you, which isn't even possible to send to directly from on chain. Cashu is my cache before I move stuff to my node because Tor sucks most times.
