"Faced with this demand, the market quickly sought innovative solutions to solve the problem of incoming liquidity. For example, Lightning Labs developed Pool, a tool that connects buyers and sellers of liquidity through a blind auction held on the blockchain. (...) On the other hand, CLN took a different approach, introducing Liquidity Ads, allowing nodes themselves to advertise liquidity offers directly on the Lightning Network, without the need for external tools." vs "As of this writing, LND has already reached version 0.16. It is the most popular implementation, dominating over 90% of the network,"
I wish LND has not so big market share, because it's not very healthy situation and we had examples of it already as Lightning Labs used their "power" to force some of their ideas regarding LN, not care about ACINQ or Blockstream opinions: #119318 That's why I did migration from LND to CLN - quite straight forward in fact and CLN is less complicated to set-up, similar in use, but less resources hungry it seems.
"increase interoperability between different implementations - a crucial aspect of network robustness." That's the key, because in my case I was able for example to connect Breez wallet from first try, OBW wallets with some little effort (some restarts), and no way to connect Blixt wallet (LND based), no matter from which side I tried to initiate channel (had permanently Inactive state).
Thank you for commenting and sharing 'the extent' of what we discussed here in this post is perfect, if I could edit it again, I would definitely refer readers to your content, it was very good!
I understood your vision

My understanding is that this is mostly because of pre-packaged nodes (e.g., MyNode, Umbrel, etc) preferring LND. Would be a high-leverage move for these guys to offer other options.
