Existing LN channels are expensive too with all these force closures. When channel sizes in the single millions, it is bad for operators when major chunks of their liquidity go to unilateral closure fees.

Yes, I'm still trying to understand if they're all LND or get forced closed for other reasons.
But if you are to run a LN node and open/close channels you're going to run it with more seriousness like a business. Not just open random channels to random plebs
