This is exactly what I said about Linux when I was 15 years old "It's the fault of the user! No way to fix it!" Now we have people using Android, ChromeOS and SteamOS.
Please don't conflate working around limitations with actually understanding what you are using, a LN wallet might be easy to use for you and me, but we are not representative of the users that we all want to join Bitcoin.
Also, it's widely known that Lightning doesn't scale the ownership of Bitcoin, it simply off-loads transactions of already existing users from the chain.
If a user can interact off-chain (lightning) thousands of times without ever touching on-chain...
That is by-definition scaling. Does it scale 'infinitely'? No.
But remember right now where we're at - Bloomberg the WSJ the Financial Times and most media outlets have no idea Lightning even exists. They have never made a Bitcoin transaction or even held their own keys. Not once.
They have literally never used Bitcoin...
So they don't have really any informed opinion on it. This will take time but it will change eventually and when they do they will come to Lightning in some format.

That scales throughput, but it doesn’t scale ownership, which is what @pakovm mentioned.
