Bitcoin/LN MoE are being slyly but relentlessly obstructed by the fiat powers.
Because as a MoE Bitcoin is a real threat to them.
Unfortunately, they are largely succeeding in this obstruction and a revolution would be required to remove it.
Most people including Bitcoiners are so distracted by the noise around Bitcoin price that they don't see how it has been slyly but very effectively obstructed as a MoE/P2P payments protocol.
Lack of education and a tremendous amount of confusion around taxes, for example with regard to Lightning + micropayments.

Its deliberate and concerted obstruction.
It is not accidental.
They allow Bitcoin as a speculative asset but will not tolerate its widespread use as a MoE.
Tax and other strategies have combined to achieve this obstruction.
