I think the OP built a mockup of Vault, and there is a demo of CTV as well.
Lightning clearly could benefit from some of these improvements given how difficult self-sovereign use of LN is and how few people chose to use it that way.
Vaults make the self-custody scaling problem worse, not better. They're very inefficient, requiring approximately double the on-chain space to perform a signalling function that could be done just fine off-chain with a normal multisig wallet.
I need to write up a good article on them one of these days... They're just not a very compelling idea.

Agreed. But, is any of that surprising? How many people run their own email server?
I just don't think there is much demand for it....(sadly)

Maybe they would if it wouldn't be so difficult because it got captured by big corporations

You are right, because it is currently so difficult.
I think this is also related: If you ask users what they want (= demand), they will tell you they want the proverbial faster horse.
