The UX of lnurl/ln address is such a trainwreck. If you’re just someone trying to use lightning you install a mobile, hopefully non-custodial lightning wallet. But a non-custodial lightning wallet can’t give you an lnaddress - that’d put them in between you and your money and give them the ability to steal funds from you. So instead people are pushed to install a huge stack of software on a home RPi and run their own node/manage liquidity or, worse, just switch to a custodial wallet.
