Lightning is partially limited by block-size as well.  Kinda defeats the purpose if opening/closing channels costs thousands of Sats and takes months to be confirmed.  

With the current block size, if everyone in the world wanted to open and close ONLY A SINGLE Lightning channel per YEAR, it would not be possible.

I'm not arguing for larger blocks.  I'm just pointing out that Lightning is already having a tough time in the public eye.  Hardly anyone is using it non-custodially as it is.... and you want to make it even more difficult to use?! 

Ahhh, ok that actually makes a lot of sense!
