We actually have quite some users from this region, I think they understand technology no worse than people on average.

There certainly is some effort+knowledge threshold to start playing around with LN, and we're trying to lower that. And it's not only the case for Alby, but whole ecosystem.

The larger problem I can see is certain cost of self-custody, ie. hardware maintenance, channel fees, etc., that are often not avoidable and become out of reach for low income communities. That's also why we introduced "Isolated balance" type of NWC connection in the Hub, that effectively lets users share their node with others, becoming some kind of "Uncle Jim" - distributing liquidity and knowledge with peers :) Try it!
