Each person maintains only a couple lightning channels per year, big block:
8B people * 4tx/yr * 250B/tx = 8TB/yr
Each year, a full node would have to add $150 in storage if they only use disks
VS:
Small block, self custody:
8B people * 1tx/person * 10min/2700tx = 56.3yrs
Time to make one transaction per person art current rate.

There's no way to self-custody for every person at the current rate. As it currently stands, an on-chain transaction will be a once-in-a-lifetime event for 99.99% of people.
