You're the avatar of the mindless hipster that can't resist a virtue signal because your ideas are shit, I doubt you had any brain cells to spare so pipe down.
Thats right hipster, a node for every family and small business is centralizing.
Your scammer buddies running a massive sybil-prone fake L2 that harvests data without actually scaling ownership is obviously not centralizing though.
What you hipsters can't grasp is that decentralization and equality is making trust as local as possible, the home or small business. Not with your scammer friends.
O, let me try to argue with you here, but the level of ad-hominen here demonstrate that this will be hard.
The biggest problem with your approach is believing that people will "just run nodes", people won't, that's a pipedream, people will trust profesionals to run nodes, manage liquidity, keep the software up-to-date, etc, etc... because the division of labour exists, this will ultimately centralize things into very trusted nodes which will act as banks for most people, ending up in the same problem all over again.
As someone who used to work in retail and restaurant management in his 20s, let me tell you, business will NEVER run their own infrastructure, only a few will try to do so and most will either fail at that or export it as a second business, so no, the way you think Lightning will decentralize itself by virtue of people running it won't happen.
What matters really is that those infrastructures are trustless, and Ark tries to do that exactly, be trustless, because decentralization is a means to an end, which is trustlessness, and as long as things are trustless the level of centralization is non-important, while you don't have to trust an ASP, you will always have to trust a Lightinig Custodian, whether that is a giant business or your toxic psychotic cousin who has been caught using the family money to gamble multiple times but is the only one capable of running a node in the family.

ad-hominem
Do you even know what that means? I didn't say your ideas was shit because you are a hipster retard, I simply insulted you and then said your ideas are shit.
people will "just run nodes", people won't
I know comprehension is an issue for you, or you wouldn't believe the things you do.
My entire premise is that people won't run nodes and that's why its only hipster retards talking about billions of users.
Many organizations will, most won't, but they all have the option and the number of them won't change regardless of whether or not your shitfork becomes consensus.
Therefore the only tooling that matters is that which gets trust distributed, which is the opposite of Ark.
infrastructures are trustless, and Ark tries to do that
Ark is not trust-less, even with a shitfork it makes a lot of negative trade-offs, which might be fine if the marketing departments weren't so dishonest. Why does something pre-product need marketing anyway? Oh thats right because its a narrative scam.
It's tooling for large trusted coordinators, not distributing trust to the edge.
toxic psychotic cousin
You misidentify ad-hominem and jump right into using ad-absurdum, entirely predictable mid-curving.

I would love to discuss this more in depth with you, but all you are doing is insult me, so see ya.
Just don't be surprised when people block you on social media, everyone calls you a retard publicly, nobody uses your apps and nobody takes you seriously on Delving Bitcoin.
Have a nice one dude, hope you find the professional help you need for your anger issues someday.

Try not coming in hot about losing brain cells when you have none.

I think this is now the second time you've said this, I think I've posted one time, ages ago, on that shit heap. Comprehension fail yet again.
