What make you think Managing liquidity, understanding channel status, and recovery seem too complicated for the average person. Why do you think the "average person" will need to know about such things? Do your mum (or anyone else older than you) know who to sed an email?

Managing liquidity is not an issue anymore, have you considered @justin_shocknet's Lightning.pub? You can still do it manually if you fancy doing so. Otherwise, the auto liquidity feature is pretty good. Still testing it but so far so good.
