If there were two lightning networks with no connection between them, then there might be significant price differences in each, which would create profit opportunities for a bridge.
I was personally triggered not so much in terms of KYC-gating (or any other gating) but more in terms of that we could (probably? haven't researched it deeply) identify emerging subnets / edges in the graph by looking not so much at a snapshot of the graph (i.e. lnrouter.app takes a monthly snapshot) but rather by the stream of opened and closed channels over time?
