Is it still 4 txns/second even with the Lightning network?

4 transactions per second is for the main chain, not side-chains.

Nobody uses side-chains, so I don't think their capacity is the interesting number.

I use LN every day. Also, have you heard the El Salvador news?

This is just active, malicious disinformation - why are you doing this?

LN blows away legacy payment rails by many orders of magnitude - you can do hundreds of millions of transactions per second, today.
