A private pilot without a medical or the hopes of ever having another one

moot anyhow if he can't afford the LSA.

And a private pilot also needs a medical to get his license, so that makes
it
moot as well. If he loses his medical, he's not eligible for a Sport Pilot
certificate.

He hasn't lost his medical. He just doesn't have a current one and hasn't
failed one nor had one recalled. He can still fly a LSA under his PPL with
a drivers license but only under a Sport Pilot's limits. But still. the
major limiting factor in his case is the cost. Affordable rentals are no
longer available and haven't been in decades.
