It sounds like it might be good for casual users with small amounts of sats. It's an easy, low-cost way to use lightning without any of the complexities or expenses involved with running your own lightning node. I can see where it has its place in the greater community, but not much value if you already run your own node and manage your own bitcoin.  

 that's exactly what I do
10k sats on minibits for zapping and besides that I don't F with LN

I have Monero for actual purchases
