I agree that this works now, but when scaling up you will get to a point where it will become impossible for people to open up a channel because evey channel required an on-chain transaction and we will run out of transaction space way before onboarding every person on the planet.
This is realistically still very far off and maybe lightning is not the end game at all, but ecash does give you some options in terms of further scaling up the lightning network for now.
We have to keep inventing here even if the outcome is not the perfect one.
