I assume it's about sender privacy
also, they say they don't process payments, so I think this means it is not custodial
IMO, probably just another example how much easier it is to receive monero than to receive bitcoin via lightning
I assume it's about sender privacy
Makes sense.
maybe it is not custodial?
Also makes sense. Didn't check the website much.
receive monero privately than to receive lightning privately
You know more about this than I do. I remember reading somewhere that supertestnet has strong opinions about this, too, but I'll just have to trust either one of you's expertise.

no you don't. it's quite easy:
you need to be online, open a channel, have inbound liquidity to receive on lightning (and it's still not private by default)
with monero, I could just paste an address in here right now and go offline
supertestnet's arguments are based on what is theoretically possible, but for me, this just proves how hard it is in practice
he's like a Final Destination movie character that prepared everything to cheat death
and then when he almost died, he says: "see? it's very safe, I didn't die."

Yeah, I agree. Theory and practice follow different rules.
People are lazy, so doing proper privacy-preserving lightning is not there (yet?) for regular people.
Case in point about people being lazy: LNURL, although a dirty hack, ends up being so popular because it's easy.
