LN transactions are bitcoin transactions though they aren’t broadcast to the blockchain most of the time.

you could argue either way depending on your definition of what bitcoin transaction is. if it's a separate entry in the blockchain then no, LN transactions aren't bitcoin transactions. if it's transfer of value within bitcoin's network with same security characteristics, then yes, LN transactions are bitcoin transactions.
