The possibility of losing funds exists, but bugs are something you would expect with any in-development technology. And, existing payment services are not without risk. Getting your account frozen and funds taken is pretty common with PayPal, Square, and other payment providers, which is not possible with the Lightning Network.

Bugs exist, sure... but bugs that have the potential to cause direct revenue loss, and that cause the core purpose of the product to fail? That isn't a bug, that is a deal-killer.
