Those solutions aren't for nerds like us.
Some people already have accounts with them, and some people will never run a node or a non-custodial mobile wallet.

I consider myself a nerd but I don't run my own lightning node yet. I explored it a while ago but I started too early without knowing anything, so I shut it down and haven't tried again. It's on my list, but just haven't prioritized it yet.
Edit: I do use self-custody wallets like Phoenix, so I'm not a total n00b ;)

I, for one, know you're a nerd. :)
Running a node is a lot of fun, but it is nontrivial effort-wise and even I neglect my node. I recommend not making it too hard on yourself and using umbrel or start9. If you want to support their businesses, and make it even easier, consider buying their hardware too.

Self-hosting is also a rabbit hole that I think will get wider and wider over time. At least until we have better cryptography.
