I agree it is powerful, but for average users it won't be decentralized if they have to go through a payment channel to transfer funds. It makes sense that Bitcoin would be valuable as a settlement network for large value transfers. However most people have less than $1000 to their name so which one Bitcoin becomes more adopted? It all depends how simple it is for the end user. It's great that both philosophies to scaling are being tested.
