Think of the merchants that accept On-Chain bitcoin now. How many of them just open up a wallet to check manually? Not many. Majority of them still use payment processors like BitPay, BitcoinPay, Blockonomics, etc.
This will be the on-ramp of Lightning just like onchain TX for Bitcoin is the same way. A payment processor will emerge that enables both On-chain and LN payments as their major selling point. There's not even really any reason it couldn't be BitPay or Coinbase themselves!
Once Lightning has been thoroughly established via payment processors, home-spun lightning wallets will have the volume necessary for merchants to accept it manually.
There's nothing here!
