Noncustodial wallets are just stupid, and nobody should be using them. That's another thing newbies need to learn early on.

They have not been able because they are unknown, and people relly on well-known exchanges. Even tho they are hacked from time to time and people lose money.

In these days non-custodial exchanges are associated with a slowness which is no longer true. Many non-custodial exchanges came up with idea of a daily settlement destroying the stereotyp of slow funds transfer. In this way you have fast exchange, with high security
