Ah, I see. As an I2P-only node, I can only connect and open channels to I2P nodes but I can still pay an invoice from a clearnet node because I might be able to reach it through one of those nodes running on both networks which also forwarded clearnet gossip to me?

That's how I understand it. Routing nodes would be incentivized to support all available transport layers as it increases the odds they'll help route a payment between peers which don't have the same transports enabled.
Most LN nodes are Tor-only. So the demand for anonymity layers seems strong. Additionally, clearnet is difficult/expensive to setup (especially if you don't have a dedicated-IP because you're behind the ISP's NAT).
The pleb noderunners deserve a "middleground" transport with some anonymity, easy to setup, and more performant.
