 Lightning payment channels are opened/closed as on-chain transactions. While they’re open they work fine. I have two LN nodes and have operated one of them for 4-5 years. But the fact is that signatures are layer one for true btc transactions.

 Oh, you do know what you're talking about then.

I'm saying these moves could be "opening channels" for some new corporate equivalent, so the single on-chain signature isn't in any one individual's hands (until the new system gets hacked someday)
