Those of you who like #Bitcoin but don't have a lightning address on your profile, why not?

SATS LEFT ON THE TABLE
Just speaking from my side: Setting up a lightning address that is also connected with your own domain is very hard (not with a redirect).
Also: To have a lightning address you need to have at least some inbound liquidity - to understand what to do it took me multiple days and now the fees onchain are so high that it doesn’t make sense to push liquidity to the lightning network.
I obviously currently have a lightning address, but for the longest time I was very hesitant about zaps, specifically.
This is a concept I still don't really like but the idea of but Before private and anonymous zapping was a thing, I didn't like the idea (and still dont tbh) of a list of who sent who money that is open for anyone to read. I know Bitcoin is pseudonymous, and attaching any form of identity to these payments is still a little bit troublesome for me. Obviously, I've relaxed a little bit the way I feel about it, but it's still something in the back of my mind that bothers me.
Also, I refused to personally use custodial solutions and waited until I could run things myself.
Dear Lord, I just reread that and realized it was a bit of a word salad, but I hope that kind of makes sense.
in an attempt to be more concise.
I like Bitcoin tipping but I generally think that it's a liability, at least with a way that Zaps currently work. Private and anonymous zapping is a nice feature But not perfect.
My initial hesitancy was not wanting to use custodial solutions and privacy implications.
