There's two things here
I run a node and its been the best lightning wallet I've ever had, never fails and its a great way to store sats
But it does not work well as programmable money. there is no way to connect to it from a web app, and there is no way for a web app to easily talk to your node (to ask for an invoice)
The issue is nodes exist on their own network (for security reason) and its really difficult for transitional apps to find a reliable way to talk to them (tor sucks)
Every podcasting 2.0 app I use or I've tried just used alby as the users wallet because it was too hard to get an app to talk to a node
That said what alby is doing now with alby hub and NWC has made it possible for me to use my node as more than just a simple payment wallet
