Exactly...
Self custodial LN has too many pain points for a non technical user...

It wasn’t that hard with alby. Although I have experienced forced closure, which broke my wallets. That was very annoying
But is everything working fine again?
Yeah I just had to open a new channel. It would be nice if the cloud nodes could automatically update
Before or after they went self custodial?
The point is that nostr:nprofile1qqsrf5h4ya83jk8u6t9jgc76h6kalz3plp9vusjpm2ygqgalqhxgp9gpzfmhxue69uhk7enxvd5xz6tw9ec82cspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqd2970s was the premier self custodial wallet.

Most vendors and businesses that accept payment with LN are using WoS anyway because the UX is better... I don't have stats for that, but my gut says custodial solutions like nostr:nprofile1qqst4qyeqenw7zm0fwjsty68h6cnys5jre2xd8ngqpjv5a2j26s78fspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm0d9hx7uewd9hj75a0pev or WoS are getting used more than local LN nodes... Since then you don't need to worry about node maintenance
