Not at all, just saying it makes sense. Self-custodial lightning is harder than monero. At least, in the past it has been. It's pretty close now with Mutiny and Zeus.
But the market is dictated by the players, and for now at least, they want monero.
My guess is markets will skip right past lightning and use ecash.

nonsense. ecash depends on LN. Otherwise is just a scam.

Not really. There is no technical reason why ecash mints can only accept lightning. They can accept on-chain Bitcoin or even other crypto. It's just an IOU vending machine. Deposit, confirm deposit, spit out tokens.

Of course, but I mean they will give buyers their own ecash wallets and the market will run a mint.
It's just conjecture, but I don't see them just using standard lightning. Then every wallet operator is on the hook for laundering or facilitating illicit activity.
