 It’s the “custodial” requirement here that gets you no answer. Ignore that and there’s a few Breez SDK wallets, some LDK-node ones coming soon, plus Mutiny, Phoenix, etc. custodial wallets aren’t legal without KYC most places in the world… 
 KYC sucks and is harming Bitcoin. But it's a UX problem that can be solved for 99% of people. It is even possible for non-custodial Lightning to have a UX that's acceptable for mainstream users? 
 Phoenix, Breez, Aqua, and countless other self-custody solutions already present an excellent UX for mainstream users.

But, you do lose a few things that always online custodial solutions offer like lightning addresses and zaps. Can be fixed/there are workarounds but we leave the "mainstream user" territory from there.
