Perfect. I also had a romanticized idea that each person would have their lightning node routing thousands, if not millions of transactions per month. However, this works neither in a small environment nor in a hyperbitcoinized environment.
The number of hops between sender and receiver determines the efficiency and effectiveness of the network. The smaller it is, the better. That's why we will have giant nodes, conglomerates of connections, and small nodes with few connections to these conglomerates. Only then will the network remain stable and active.
