this is wishful thinking. people just want something like monero that actually works and doesn't require thought. believing that people will coinjoin into a lighting channel is laughable when they could just use monero and not worry about if they incorrectly did their opsec with bitcoin
If the wallet does it automatically, then the experience would be equal, no?

Not in my opinion because vendors on darkweb markets don't want to even risk it, so they don't even want to accept bitcoin at all. From my point of view it doesn't matter what bitcoiners like peter think about it, because the reality is that vendors and users are just telling each other not to use bitcoin at all now on every dark web forum like dread

It'd be pretty easy for darknets to standardize a special address standard that was only supported by conjoin and private lightning wallets.
But just doing Monero is certainly simpler.

Wouldn't that make it easier to trace money flows to DNMs?

No. Your thinking script pub key, which is different than what an address standard is.
