The line has already been crossed with Lightning. Almost everybody is using custodial wallets because self hosted lightning is a pain in the ass and the fees are nowhere near a few sats if you don't use the same wallets everybody uses. The whole generation of number go up bitcoiners does not even get the most basic concepts of why bitcoin was cool back in the days. P2P currency. Not your keys, not your coins. At the beginning even a certain level of privacy. What do we have now? Paypal like Banks on Bitcoin.

The ux for fedimints is dope, one click entering/exiting a private bank. Most people won't bother to secure their own keys anyways. Not only do you need 100 hours studying it you need like $100 in hardware and seed plates, make that $300+ for a decent lightning node. Fairytale protocol changes aren't going to appear either so we're stuck with chaumian mints might as well make the most of it.
