I can see that everyone's ready to help on it but users getting problems again and again!
Can it not be simple connect your any wallet that has sats? Just send zaps and recieve zaps?

Lightning is only between two peers and the Bitcoin Blockchain. The protocol is constructed with this scenario in mind.
To create the smooth experience you describe of sending a receiving zapa, you'd need to introduce additional parties into the equation to handle offline situations etc or act as custodians. These are extensions to the base protocol, but make tradeoffs that not everyone is comfortable with.

Couple Things:
  • It is still early for lightning. Tech gets better over time.
  • I am running a node, which is more than the average end user will probably do or need after mass BTC adoption.
