how you imagine your success rate with newbies proposing them right now $10-20 fee for non-custodial LN wallet, when e.g. starting with WalletOfSatoshi is free of charge - and for them the functionally is simply the same
option 1: "start with free of charge LN wallet, and migrate to non-custodial version when on-chain fees are back to acceptable"
option 2: force them to $10-20 starting fee just to keep away from custodians (but don't cry there is no LN adoption)
option 3: I pay the $20 channel opening fee. The channel goes to my node. User doesn't gotta worry about a thing.

If I would start now taking payments, I think is better to start accepting LN in a custodial wallet and after I put together 200 or 300$, I would send that to my hodl wallet (non custodial on chain) or I would open my first channel on a easy wallet like phoenix or breez.
