Remember, if you were using lightning on your own, you would have to either be running your own node or be using another.
Each mint runs its own, and you can connect to several. When you send eCash to another, they become a "member" of that mint. They can swap the eCash for another mint or just hold/use the eCash there.
Swapping mints requires a lightning transaction.
So generally, it begins to simplify the process more for the end user.
Still a little technical. But it's getting easier.
