 Liquid is custodial, it's a lie, sorry. 
Just nope.  
 I want to be as non custodial as possible.  Want to use bitcoin for really small amounts on nostr and to send to friends without paying to open a channel. Lightning should be perfect but the only non custodial wallets like zeus need a large fee to set up the wallet. Am I missing a better wallet? 
 I agree, for lightning, custodial is the way, less headaches. 
Liquid is arguably more reliable. 

The problem is that neither are solutions to the big problem here, of on-chain being unusable. Because both require trust in people not taking your money away from you. 

They solve some problems, not the main problem.
