Uhm.. why not?!

Technological limitations of Bitcoin

Still don’t get it. Every address can be self-custodied. Or is this about block space?

Multifaceted.

The UTXO set would be so large that network of nodes would have a hard time relaying the transactions

The block space would be incapable of supporting that many transactions

As transactions grow exponentially, fees grow exponentially leading to large amounts of UTXO dust

Self custody bitcoin will not scale unless miracle code fixes the problem. I think most people will end up somewhere down the ladder of trust tradeoffs with speed and convenience, but that's still a huge improvement over the current system.

Not ideal perhaps, but the situation is what it is. Stacking sats is still the wise move.
