For casual use (zaps, daily payments) it barely matters in practice, but on a broader theoretical level, the privacy & sovereignty trade-offs remain steep.

I'm skeptical of this 'maturation' when hardcore critics like @samouraidev still call LN brittle, insecure, and non-private due to always-online nodes, liquidity hassles, and hub routing that leaks data or enables surveillance.

The hub-and-spoke centralization (Amboss dominating) looks like it's heading straight toward custodial control—'WEF-adjacent' and a Trojan horse for regulated, traceable finance.
Is this real progress, or just convenience sold as maturity when the privacy & sovereignty trade-offs are this steep?
