I didn't say anything about hosting a routing node either...
It still takes a few open channels, at least $1000 in liquidity, an always on reliable PC, to have even a semi reliable node for sending and receiving payments...
That's way too much effort for someone to just be able to send smaller Bitcoin payments instantly. So they use custodial. That to me is not the adoption I want to see. That to me is the same kind of adoption the ETFs drive.
