Lightning transfers are instantaneous and low fee. No recourse is the complement of self sovereignty. It is a tradeoff to be made.

Right. That’s why the FDIC and police exists.

Society decided this 100 years ago. We don’t like the Wild West and scams. We like safety.

ttc fees increased since lightning became a thing.

It gains speed by compromising security. Lightning enables whole new classes of attacks. You also need to have a server or something constantly online, or trust someone to do it for you. Trust, for a supposedly trustless system.
