no, I rather try to keep it "balanced":
*Spend & Replace* :)

But it is not either guaranteed to be kept open forever by ACINQ, especially if all the inbound liquidity is on your side, if I understand correctly?

I have working channel in my Phoenix wallet with funding transaction 800k sat in 2020-02-22
so, 3.5 years so far, and I see no single reason to close it
especially that's $250 right now, and probably $2500 in coming years
precious asset in fact - so how could I close it, and not: keep it "forever" ? :)

one TX per decade - is very probable in my case of non-custodial wallet user

Bitcoin transaction processing rate after hyperbitcoinization

OK, probably true for an average user. Still it seems reasonable (just to me?) to assume that, say, 1% of people would want to maintain this self-sovereignity. And even those people - 80M (taking a likely wrong assumption that the world population saturates today) - will hardly afford a TX per year...
I'm still not convinced it's the way to go.
