I'm confused, isn't lightning meant to be the scalability solution?
Lightening is solution with limitations. Here it was about a large scale solution.

I think I agree. However, up until recently, I felt like those limitations would get ironed out. I feel like the mood has changed in the last few months?
In terms of details, I believe opening channels was a limitation which could eventually be solved with channel factories. Another was initial inbound liquidity for new users which LSPs was meant to alleviate. Another was being online which watchtowers was meant to help with. What other limitations are there?
