A lot of BOLT12 discussion is indeed theoretical — agreed.
But this project is explicitly about testing real-world usage using LNDK, including actual offers and blinded paths, not just wrapping BOLT11 behind LNURL.
Also, merchants don't have to expose a static public invoice endpoint — that’s exactly where offers + blinded paths can change UX and privacy assumptions.
Totally fair to be skeptical, but dismissing it as “useless” ignores what’s actually being implemented and tested here.
I think you're mixing two things here.

Happy to go into specifics if you're interested.
