In regards to cashu specifically, it requires a lightning node in order to run a cashu mint in the first place. It is not less complicated, but is a more private way for users to transact within the same mint. Payments between mints are made via regular lighting payments, so it would be pointless for every user to run their own mint. Think of cashu as a more private form of custodial lightning, because unless you are the mint operator you are entrusting someone else with your bitcoin.
