What do these LN dynamics (which seem to have existed for a little while already now) have to do with Taproot?

OP was describing something in the context of Taproot and now you and others are talking about Lightning. What is the new development here?

Roughly, Taproot will make Lightning Transactions much more efficient and indistinguishable from simple transactions by introducing a new „Pay-To-Taproot“ validation type.

Lightning channel opens/closes are 2-of-2 multisig transactions. Taproot would make them indistinguishable from singlesig transactions.
