Lightning is bitcoin—end of the story. The end user should never consider the differentiation between the payment methods. Wallets should call the shots and do the calculations on which payment method to pick

Convenience is king, and the simplest solution will win. i f Bitcoin's usage can't be simplified it won't be used. I think it's unfortunate, but that's how it is. For people that want to take control, they should be able to. It's all open source protocols, and noone is stopping you from implementing software that allows for more control.
