ah ok, so a use case would be, I have some sort of award/reward system on my website, but my users are not bitcoiners, so I could ecash which would make it easier to onboard newbs, but they can still redeem for real sats when/if they are inclined.

With an ecash wallet users can hold 100 sats without opening a channel or dealing with liquidity issues. I just sent corn from stacker news to my e-cash wallet via lightning, ecash isnt bitcoin but its pretty interoperable and will likely replace lightning as a medium of exchange.

That's nothing to do with ECash, same is true of SQL... custodial sats are custodial sats no matter how you authenticate to the server
