I just think you're on the wrong track. I know we're a good actor and we help Spark be more private. We already do so. We're also pushing other sub-networks and the native Lightning tech itself.

"we help Spark be more private"
A good actor would immediately recognize that LightSpark is building a closed, permissioned system, which allows them full surveillance, and would refuse to work with LightSpark until they showed a commitment to decentralization, privacy, and respect for the founding principles of Lightning and Bitcoin.
That's your blind spot, not mine. I think they are committed to an open network. They already executed on their commitment. They open sourced the SE/SO. They communicated a public roadmap wrt to privacy. I think you're completely misjudging because? You're not doing that with Arkade, you're not doing that with Phoenix, for some reason you're targeting David Marcus. I judge them based on their actions.
I would also encourage anyone following this thread to ask around at respected companies in Lightning like Lightning Labs, Blockstream, Phoenix, or others, and ask them about their opinion of using proprietary APIs like Breez and Spark, compared to using the Lightning Network as it was designed. You might find they say some interesting things in private, that they're too polite to say publicly.
