Are you sure? That would be logical, but here it says:
"Channels need to be confirmed within two weeks after they were initiated, or else they will not become active and will have to be force closed."

If the tx is never taken by miners, that means no channel open, that means what are you going to force close? Thin air?

As i said it is logical what you say, however, the channel is opened according to the below logic, but funds are not locked.
Channel_open
Channel_accept
Funding_created
Funding_signed
And this is where it ends if not confirmed.
