Unpopular:
I do run a lightning node, but i use wallet of satoshi when travelling and encountering street merchants in different countries who dont speak any of the 5 languages that I do.
Whether they know if they are using LN or core doesnt matter with WOS and breaks down alot of barriers.
I dont mind using a custodial service that just makes things work for everyone when im talking about temporary hot wallet storage anyway.
I dont have time for a failed LN transaction due to liquidity, language barriers, and routing, as a tourist.
