I don't know the answer. I didn't think it mattered either. With Ocean, you need to set up a Bolt 12 offer, and the CLN gui allows you to do that. Still, I don't see why they don't think LND will work. Here's a quote from their site:

Due to our use of Core Lightning (CLN) and the experimental nature of BOLT12, it is best to use CLN as your node. At the time of writing, only CLN is known to work, but we will update this documentation as more compatible implementations of BOLT12 become available.

It doesn't make sense to me as long as you have Bolt 12, but I'm certain they know more than I do.

Ah, actually that makes sense.

LN development moves MUCH faster than Bitcoin Core. There are some protocol upgrades that CLN may have that LND does not.... and vise-versa.

I was super bullish on what Bolt 12 had to offer when it was in development. Can't wait to see it in the wild.

The first time I used it was setting up my LN address with Ocean. @k00b says that Stacker News will support it in the future, although I guess it's too complicated to be spending the time on now.

The code is already written (has been written for months now by @rblb). We just need work on the wallet "foundation"/UX first before we add new wallets and deal with support requests for them. It's been slower going than planned as it's mostly ek working on it and he's been moving/traveling, but definitely expect it in the next few months.
