the ability to open and close channels can be automatic and seamless inside your wallet software

Not if there is a significant backlog of transactions trying to get added to the blockchain. If everyone in the world wanted to open only one channel each, it would take over 30 years for BTC to accommodate that demand. And nobody can use Lightning without opening a channel.
