Roy is honest about who Breez is for: a mainstream audience that doesn't really care about privacy. Lightning was his way to push Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.
"If I was a privacy concerned person, I wouldn't have used Lightning, period."
He ran a large node on the network, did the maths and ran the tests. Most of the flow goes through very few nodes, a hub and spoke model a long way from peer to peer.
