I don't think every user on this planet will ever use self-custody. Will always exist Bitcoin banks, being your uncle, your friend or a professional company.
But as Odell said very well: "let's make better custodians." That they cannot rugpull and less or almost no tracking users. Just provide a good custody for those in need.

Better custodians sounds good. There is a sense though that anything less than self-custody is a betrayal of cypherpunkism and the sainted satoshi.

I recommend you to listen that last dispatch with Odel and Voltage team. They are talking about a lot of things and also about custodians. Here: #455228
I am a strong believer in the "uncle Jim" method. Just think about a "LN bank" in each household. Not for a single user, but maybe 4-5-10 users. That is already a lot.
Not every people must be a 100% "cypherpunk"...

Do you have any guides on being an Uncle Jim? I've been considering just waiting on eCash to get out of beta so I can use that and also take advantage of offline payments. What do you think?
