Let me address the question in your bio.
Custodial Lightning wallets are the easiest way to onboard because the most popular ones provide a Lightning address, which is a hosted URL for receiving zaps. It’s possible to self-host this, but the setup process is beyond the reach of most new users. So for now, until the next generation of Lightning wallets using the BOLT-12 spec are widely available, this is the fastest path to getting zaps and putting sats into the hands of new users.
Everyone should explore other ways to use Lightning, and set up a self-custody wallet with Phoenix, Breez, and others where they can hold their sats with their own keys, just use custodial wallets for receiving zaps, and not store much on them.
I don’t know what use case for Ethereum you’re talking about, because anything built on that is subject to censorship, protocol changes at the whim of developers, and rug-pulls.
