Has the lightning network been a failure?
UX is bad.
It cannot scale to every person on the planet.
Self custody can be a pain to manage.
Periodic problems with routing payments.
Personally I don't think it is a failure. It is either a step or stepping stone in the right direction. Is it an answer to scaling solutions? That is unknown at this time. But it is a usable option at the moment when fees are high.
