That statement is true today and will continue to be true. 

Anyone that wants to enjoy those benefits can today. The people that these changes are aimed to “help” don’t even know Bitcoin exists, they don’t care or like Bitcoin, or would rather use a financial institution. 

When these people that can’t transact on-chain and are actively using custodial LN or ecash, and the livelihood of their families depends on using Bitcoin sovereignly start asking for changes, then I’ll take it more seriously.
