Lightning payments for my business
Usually lightning payments don't require the use of debit/credit cards. There is a new protocol called boltcard that allows you to make lightning payments with a prepaid NFC card (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard). This is very cool but it's in its early stages of adoption.
- I created a Lightning Network Boltcard (NFC payments) template - feel free to use for your own boltcards

- Travel, I book hotels/flight with it and once I rented a boat for a family trip
In addition to that I now and then try to pay with Bitcoins at other stores. Last time got excited about boltcards (https://github.com/boltcard/boltcard) there are few places in my country which accept it, but it is quite a new thing.

Could BTC ever have a traditional banking "feel"?
Just get a Bolt Card, and set it up with your own node server, it's open source. You can then just tap with your card in any merchant with NFC, for example BTCPayServer.

Is there any way to use a public block explorer or node-as-a-service provider using LND?
You mean this?

Credit-card firms are becoming reluctant regulators of the web
I'm curious about what made you reach that understanding. My guess is that you either tried or heard from someone who tried to open channels with Bitrefill or another LN giant. You shouldn't do that. Big channel operators don't want to dilute their liquidity with unreliable small channels. You should instead connect to a smaller channel that is connected to that big node. LN is all about routing.
Also in the thread's context we are talking about Visa and Mastercard banning merchants right? In a scenario where the LN is widely adopted that merchant can setup and run https://btcpayserver.org and maintain his own independent LN or on chain payment process system.
As for users, there has been work to facilitate nodeless operation on software wallets. Probably based on https://github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino. I know Blue Wallet is building something based on Rust's lightweight LN node so people can establish channels from their personal wallets https://github.com/BlueWallet/rn-ldk.
LN development is really fast paced. I recommend people try to at least learn about the latest advances before making critics like "I've checked months ago and it was terrible".
