if you are extremely poor (making single digit $) per week , you won't be able to afford btc(or open your own LN channels) due on chain tx fees and small UXTOs.
you will be forced to use custodials

Well, this is a failure of bitcoin then unfortunately. But if bitcoin can't handle this case, you can still can use custodians as you said.
I wrote somewhere something vaguely related that it is that base routing fees make sending very small number of sats too expensive, but I was immediately attacked for, quote, "missing the plot". Go figure.
