1. Relai was an early adaptor of Greenlight. There were issues in both the way it was implemented by Relai and in the Greenlight infrastructure itself. 
2. How do you expect users to use it if it was never integrated into the broker services? Buying on-chain and converting to Lightning will ofc create unnecessary friction. 
3. We (Breez) learned a lot by this and actually developed our Nodeless SDK (which is being used by 90% of our partners) as a result. It provides predictable fees and a better UX compared to Greenlight.

Sad to see but they are reacting to what customers are doing. I think it’s a must from a business standpoint plus fees are dead.  But shock net is right they used the breez SDK and it shows that development kit still has some issues. Even with trustodial model the customers still didn’t like it.
