Most people would be more than happy to custodial LN or use ecash from a mint controlled by their bank. In general we need to stop pretending 95% people currently share or will ever share our values. Entertaining changes based on the assumption that one day people will all the sudden care about sovereignty is an error imo

It's not about will they, it's about can they. Having optionality makes LSPs and mints incentive compatible.

the difficulty is that the direction the protocol is developed is according to the dominant values of community members. so if 95% of the users don't care about sovereign usage there is unlikely to work out well for us. regulatory capture is a real thing and Bitcoin is not inevitable.
