I hear this argument a lot from crypto people who like to ignore lightning. When lightning works it is cheap, instant and private (enough). IDK, cause that sounds like cash to me.
Maybe it could be better with better ways to pathfinding, having more liquidity and more decentralized.

Started running my LND node a little while back. Coinjoined a utxo, sent it 'to the lightning node' then used it to open a channel with an exchange, I think all over TOR (which it defaults to).
Have used it to send and receive to stacker news, and even bought a small bitrefill gift card a little while back just as a proof of concept - it worked! Then connected it to Zeus to use remotely on the iphone
Honestly it has been very impressive and easy to set up and I am not a technical user (for example programmer) at all
