It was actually to reduce reliance on third parties, that often betray the trust of their customers, so they can be more easily held accountable. Custodians will always exist.

it was made to be a p2p electronic currency.
scaling with something which does not work well for a normie without a third party is completely against what BTC was made for.
The p2p part is the computer network of nodes, an onchain tx is not p2p; miners are not your peers.
Lightning however is p2p.
In any event, the point was TRUSTED third parties, not third parties to begin with.
