You can use any lightning wallet in El Salvador. There’s no need to use a particular provider, or even a provider at all. If you want to buy the requisite hardware (I think a raspberry pi and a USB SSD is the budget approach) you can completely self-host.

True, but how many people will use anything other than the officially recommended app? How many businesses even will go to the trouble of looking for an app to use, other than the default?
