This isn't a Bitcoin block convo, it's a LN offline payments one.
In nostr, here is always trust. Fairly big. That's the issue. You trust the relay operators. For notes in 99% of all notes, not a big deal.
For real money, larger sums, a mortgage payment, whatever, it could be a massive deal and that trust needs to be minimized.
Having a 3rd party server doesn't really help, they could always shutdown or not pass on the store, etc...
Just spit balling issues here. I have NO idea how to solve the node issue. my main lightning node has zero issues, plenty of liquidity, and requires very minimal maintenance and occasional rebalancing. But I'm pretty even on them anyways, so I don't see it as a big deal.
Perhaps the answer is a few levels. Trustless(minimized) by own node online, trusting a 3rd party server for passing on when online(block stream has this), self controlled hosted LN, and of course fully custodial.
It's silly to think everyone will run a node, as well as that everyone will or should be custodial.
