Yes, lightning is awesome and the protocol is very decentralized.
However, we see that most end-users rely on a lightning service provider (LSP) to use it. In some way lightning is growing into a hub and spoke model. Even many hobbyists that run a lightning node for fun are buying channels from such an LSP.
This risk of geo-blocking for an Ark Server and LSP is quite similar. We need moreArk Servers. But at some point we need more LSPs
PS: All code is public and anyone can run their own Ark Server.
