Not using segwit is impractical. If Lightning will be practical to avoid, that's what we don't know. They could make it that way, but we shouldn't need to trust that they will.

Using nonsegwit address are the reality at the moment unfortunately and compared to a bank transfer I still paid a lower fee and got a faster conformation time obviously for transferring value in the crypto space that is an eternity and expensive but until the exchanges upgrade we are stuck

That's not my point, although I will concur that segwit adoption has been slow. There have been good reasons for this however and maybe this can change soon. Hope it catches on fast, or that Bitcoin Cash does before/after that.
