Zeus is a Self Custodial Lightning wallet with an imbedded LND node. When you create a new "Lightning Wallet", what you are doing is creating a private key on your phone for LNDMobile to run and then open a channel on the lightning network. I think by default it create a channel with Olympus by Zeus Lightning Node.
When you have a channel on the lightning network, you have to keep a reserve balance so you can pay the fees to close the channel on the layer 1.
The error message could be more clear imo to explain this. I had the same question when I started using it.
You can also use your own Lightning node and connect to it using REST or grpc. setuping your own bitcoin core and Lightning node is a great learning experience!
I really like Zeus wallet because it is so customisable and you can manage your own node with the UI.
