this seems like a reasonable view, but it seems like a "Bitcoin isn't going to be used by a large number of people anyway" view.
and as long as a large number of people aren't using Bitcoin anyway, those people can run their own nodes

I'd suggest that people are using lightning because zero conf transactions were taken out behind the woodshed and shot.
