Because rollups exist on Ethereum that are cheap and are far more suited to end user self-custody then lightning ever can be. At the moment zk-rollups are roughly 100x cheaper then mainnet, don't require the user to run a node to self custody, and the user can force a withdrawal to mainnet even if the roll-up operator completely dies.

Right, you’re only missing one important detail:

> on top of the most secure monetary network

Because eth is a circus: major cult of personality issues, major scalability issues, monetary policy is all over the place, changed at a whim of god knows who or in reaction to past shortsightedness and a planned transition away from the one thing that keeps at least some semblance of stability - PoW towards even less politically stable rich-get-richer PoS, being sold as scalability solution without having anything to do with scalability at all.

It’s a joke.
