As Lightning grows so will USD to Lightning custodial services. I’d be surprised if there weren’t any you could use right this minute, actually.

I'm not really sure how that changes anything I said. You're naïve if you think the service isn't going to pass those costs onto their users.

And if you need to resort to a custodial service, what are you even using BTC for? Using a custodian to give you permission to enter and exit a market is antithetical to everything Bitcoin stands for and exactly what it was created to fix.
