LOL the Ordinals craze makes running your own Lightning node insanely and stupidly expensive so only a few thousand zealots will do it.
Opening channels and then re-opening them when they force close because of bugs and subtle incompatibles in all the core software, oh and Tor being such a crappy system to run on, makes Lightning node running stupid at small scale. Sure it is a few sats at 1 sat/Vb but at 100+sats/Vb you have to be made of money to do it.
99+ of Lightning use will tend to custodial solutions and you’ve just recreated the horror of the banking system with different middle men.
