BTCpay is not the easiest, best, or most used Lightning Node, or software. The reason most don't run a node is because they've been told it's too hard. I had never really used Linux before 3 years ago. THAT is harder than setting up or maintaining a node. A miniPC, Start9 node, Mynode, Umbrella software, and so many others make setup step by step simple. Most people can keep a computer on. Most people can copy/paste. Most people in Bitcoin know how to fund a node. Setting up Lightning channels are a matter of going to Amboss or 1ML and finding a good channel partner or make one with a friend.
The people who want perfect money to have an instant transactional layer but don't want to do those simple things don't deserve it. They deserve to get rugged by their custodian until they learn it's not hard at all.
BTCsessions (nprofile…wmsc) has a billion videos of step by step solutions to this very problem. Even organized into playlists for your convenience. No excuses are compelling, Run your own node.
