Something that I think gets lost in all the hype around Lightning is how heavily it's been subsidized by VC. The growth we've seen over the last eight years has had little to do with organic adoption, contrary to the popular narrative. VC has funded most of the ecosystem including development, infrastructure and especially, marketing.
There's still a chance that bet pays off, but I think a lot of the shortcomings this post highlights indicate otherwise.
