I guess also, there were a lot of people that were just experimenting and dabbling with Lightning Nodes so that there was a large population of nodes that were just not well maintained. As implementations mature, less effort will need to be put into maintaining a node’s health, but also, the cost of operating a node in conjunction with the risk of having funds in a hot wallet will probably serve to dissuade ill-maintained nodes over time.
Yes, I have the same "feeling" and from what I see/listen from many noobs talking with them, this is the main issue for these FC. Thanks for your insight.

As we discussed in yesterday's Optech Recap, package relay, TRUC transactions and Pay-to-Anchor well hopefully what lightning channels with zero fee in the commitment transaction in the next year or two. This would remove a huge source of channel closures.
