The default case is slightly upgraded from CCs in my mind beca he can now send his sats to any other lightning wallet or to an on chain UTXO of he gets enough sats. Would you characterize the situation differently?
No, I wouldn't.
In fairness though, he probably won't set up an other LN wallet either, so then that pretty much just leaves him with one option, which is something like a boltz swap back on-chain.
I think my main gripe is the bastardisation of the notion of bitcoin custody.
Is a bitcoin on Spark a bearer asset in a similar manner to the old guard of Lightning wallets? It is hard for me to see it that way.
