no offline receive, must manage liquidity, to start you have to open a channel, you can't just receive a little zap.
sure wallets are solving all of these problems in different ways, but the clunkiness is still there. one must be pretty motivated to persevere to the point where everything feels easy.

For an average user who uses Wallet of Satoshi (WoS), there are no such technical difficulties.

If you ask me, using lightning in a custodial way is not adoption. Lightning is engineered to enable self-custody, but if you choose not to, you’re not really using lightning. It’s just like saying “people buying and holding bitcoin on exchanges is adoption.” Sure, in some way it is, but is it really though? Is it the adoption we care about?
So you basically answered your own question why there has not been more adoption. You haven’t even adopted it yourself.

maybe it's that you can send international more easily?
