It's a failure if most users don't prefer self custody.

The mainstream is always a failure
It's easier to blame mainstream for the problems we have with bitcoin.
Explain please.
The fact that 90 % of humans don‘t want to take responsibility and don’t want to have the main control over their own money without a third party is debatable in your opinion?
What ‚Bitcoin-specific-problem‘ do you see here?
Self custody can be improved in different ways. With better UX, users won't even know if they are using a self custodial wallet.

A supplier who feels responsible for customers' preferences runs the risk of manipulating them. For example, the notion that "It's a failure that most users don't abstain from alcohol" leads to patronizing regulation against drinking.
World was not created to be alcohol free. Bitcoin was created to avoid trusted third parties.
Use better analogy.
hey, we tried to âš¡zap this note at at floppy@joinstr.xyz, but it seems this lightning address isn't working... just wanted to give you a heads up in case you would like to fix it... we recommend a cloud-based Lightning node for highest reliability.
