Don't worry, bitcoin will solve these problems... With a third layer!



Many of the problems listed are either overstated or have solutions already. eg.

>you still need on-chain transactions to handle opening connections and creating wallets, which the main chain does not have the throughput to do at scale

channel factories

>have to constantly monitor for fraudulent closing of connections

watchtowers (which are trustless) and you don't actually have to "constantly" monitor, more like once every 2 weeks.
