Could be true to some extent, but the LSP system is OPEN. Anyone can run an LSP. Only Breez can run the Breez API and only LightSpark can run the Spark API. To compare LSPs to closed, proprietary APIs like Breez and Spark, and suggest that there are only some "tradeoffs" -- that's not cool. As long as people keep doing that, I'll keep pointing out how bad this is.

Not anyone can run an LSP. You need a lot of liquidity to run an LSP. I don't know what you mean by "proprietary API", the Spark SSP interface is public. The Spark SO is open source. You can run a Spark, an Ark or a Liquid federation. Yes, it's not easy to do, but the public interface isn't the showstopper here. It's the server management. Let's be honest, since we're operating an LSP, and interfaced with other large LSPs - running a LSP is super challenging as well. Perhaps the barrier of entry is lower now, because WE pushed for a spec and WE open sourced our LSP code - but it's still super challenging. They same dynamics apply to Spark, Ark etc.
