I can go to the same shop everyday & buy a latte with cash. Eventually every barista who works there knows me. I could go once & they will likely remember me to some capacity. It would be a lot of work to truly buy a coffee anonymously with cash... depending on what is really considered anonymous I suppose.
But I do see plenty of use cases for all zap types, including public. I'd love to see all of them supported everywhere... Private just seems most like a real-world common exchange. Like you said, for goods & services... but zaps also provide an expression of value to extend into a wide variety of things. I want the memer to know I was entertained or the artist to know I was moved. I don't want someone to know I just contributed to their crowdfunded vet bill. I want everyone to know that I paid the bet I lost. The latter 2 examples being likely less frequent in my world. That's why I chose private. 😊
