That is a good answer.

I'm guessing there will also be fee competition related pressure in some direction.

Some actors could also make demands to keep the channel open, like using the channel, or using other services of theirs, to motivate the security costs and tying up of capital. This pressure could also go in either direction, depending on how it plays out.
