Any user of, for example, Phoenix, Mutiny, Cash App, Coinbase, a Cashu wallet, Fedi, etc. can seamlessly pay each other and not even understand each of those represents very different tradeoffs and have completely different designs. What they have in common is using bitcoin as money and LN as the open payment protocol.
If you don't like paying 0.4% fees for a non-custodial mobile LN wallet, then you have the option of using a custodial or e-cash wallet to avoid the fees along with the associated tradeoffs.
Yes, we'd all love a wallet design that supports 8B people, has no fees, is as censorship-resistant and security as on-chain bitcoin, but that doesn't exist today.
