Yes but what happens when you do? Force closing goes back to an on chain address that you have to actually redeem from another wallet like electrum... which is the problem being described here. Not sure what your point is.

Closing the channel does bring the funds pas on chain and there is exactly a description of what to do in this situation in their FAQ.

And I'm saying having to do that externally IS the problem. Not hard to put it into the wallet.

Because it's totally obvious for anyone to connect "0 sat" with "channel force closed"

Yes, they should tell you when there's an error. I agree but it's not like the resources are non existent. You have the seed, the FAQ and a way to contact them.

Because you can connect the dots but newbies cannot.
If they can write "channel closed" to the logs then they can put it in the UI. It's simple, really.
