You could make the UX better by treating onchain and LN balances as a unified balance and allow spending from both.

That doesn't solve the overarching problem. What about wallets that don't have Lightning?

There are many problems to be solved in Bitcoin, and a sats symbol is not the only one or the main one, but it's one of them. Many Bitcoiners are working on solving different, independent issues. That's the beauty of decentralization. There's no Bitcoin Foundation dictating which issue of the roadmap should be prioritized!
