"giving up sovereignty for custodied privacy is not a tradeoff I will ever make" Too bad that it doesn't matter what tradeoff you make, but what tradeoff other people make. If you want to have custodial solution for the masses, find a solution in which a totally new person is able to receive exactly 1 sat. Start first by acknowledging the problems with lightning, instead of aggressively dismissing them and bullying everybody that hints that the whole "you need to have money to receive money" is a problem.
