Most of users are clueless about how CBF / neutrino works and they use shity connectionns and/or unnecessary Tor to connect.

This is the biggest mistake users are doing: use Tor (because "privacy") with a neutrino node. Is totally useless Tor and is only adding more latency !

I wrote several guides for Blixt and Zeus about these aspects, but yet people do not get the basic networking:

People don't want to READ ! And they confuse download speed with response time (ping).
Neutrino is great but is having bad time syncing from shity networks.
I never have issues syncing because yes I know which neutrino peer is good for my location and/or use my own node with neutrino to sync. But most of users, if they don't even read the FAQ pages, will never know these tricks, and just complain.

Node runners should really consider activating CBF on their nodes, especially for local friends that have issues connecting to well known distanced neutrino peers.
As some will say "run your own electrum server" I will say "add neutrino to your bitcoin node" as I made this call some time ago: #485324 and offer CBF to your local friends.

I think there simply should be a mobile wallet built around CBF by default.
Not everyone will use it, but some users will always prefer convenience over privacy.
But right now, there’s effectively no real choice unless he already knows what he's doing.

Bitcoin is a natural selection...

No joke, I wrote so many guides about these aspects and I got tired of doing it. People literally don't want to read in order to learn this stuff. They prefer to complain instead of using their brain.

I am here on SN almost 24/7 ready to help, I am also on TG groups ready to help. Is staggering the amount of people that don't read some fucking simple FAQ pages.

Would you use such wallet?

Do you know of any mobile wallet that is actually based on CBF other than LN wallet like ZEUS?

Did you read the links above and my guides?
See Blixt, ShockWallet, Breez (the old one not the crap "nodeless"). Also for desktop you have onchain only Bitcoin-Safe wallet using CBF.
