It seems like Muneeb is ignoring or not paying attention to the use cases for 3rd world countries. Instead he is focusing on 1st world problems. Nothing wrong with that but that does leave out a major bucket.
For me bitcoin/lightning development can be split in two major buckets (1) Solving for 1st world problems vs (2) 3rd world problems
The 3rd world problems can then be split into two major buckets which you described on a podcast. Bitcoin/lightning adoption should be focused (1) Energy access or (2) Bank access
A lot of the projects you mention focus on 3rd world problems
