1. G.Maxwell no matter what you think of his weight , is a proven Liar
2. Any company
(Banking Cartels thru AXA) that own blockstream can force a patent suit and destroy any other coin that uses segshit.
Patents are not cheap , G.Maxwell claiming it will never be used, well you are a fool if you believe him.
So the bitcoin gold users expect a lawsuit to cease and desist in ~2 years.
Used Segshit and risk being devastated in a legal battle or just let any exchange do your offchain processing with none of LN/segshit restrictions or limitations.
Bitcoin Cash can use exchanges to process their offchain transactions faster & cheaper & without segshit.

Anyone is fee to use segwit code the same as anyone is fee to use the bitcoin code
A LN fund cannot be seized easily and if it could it's anonymous to an extent a LN node has no idea where the money is going or coming from just its last/next hop but has no idea is the last/next hop was the start or endpoint
And you think using a exchange is more secure a central place somewhere that has to do NYC verification's and know's exactly who it belongs to what bitcoin address address and home address with everything traceable on chain yea right now you're dreaming
