There are too many restrictions on LSA to make it practical for anyone. It's
only interesting for people who can't pass a medical and are willing to
pretend they can.


Nope, it is also of interest to people who would like to fly on the cheap..

3 *gal/hour is a lot cheaper than 12 gal/hour.

There are no restrictions on LSA that would make the slightest difference
to me or anyone else that flys day VFR, which is most of GA.

About half of us who hold private licenses are instrument rated, which
suggests at least to me that we tend to use our general aviation
privileges in somewhat less restrictive environments than only daytime
VFR. I would NOT bet against your assertion, though, that most SEL GA
hours are under non-instrument meteorological conditions in the day
time. Mine surely are, but if that was the limitation I would not be
able to fly most of the trips I intended to.
