Just like with mining when China banned mining. That didn't eliminate mining, it just caused it to exist outside of China.
Most miners couldn't operate underground because they couldn't get a supply of electricity unnoticed. An LN node, thanks to Tor, does not have this same issue.
Might someday a large node operator exit the business? Sure. Does that stop me from being able to use bitcoin on LN? No.
Yes, very true.
With the efforts I'm putting now in building my node, I just wonder if I should have done a better job at being anon from the beginning. Already using tor, but with social media presence, pretty easy to figure out who I am.
But I guess I could start a new completely anon node, open similar channels, and slowly transfer old sats to the new node, or even use taproot to start with new on-chain sats that cannot be linked to channel opening transactions like it was possible before. A node can become quite productive quite fast, looking at Kraken, Zero Fee Routing, etc who (re-)built a big node in no time, so I guess it's just a matter of doing it.
