Kind of strange to call Lightning convoluted and then cite Ethereum as a foil. Lightning is much simpler than what Ethereum is trying to do, and evidently so when you compare progress on each so far.

Lightning was recently added to Cash App, for one big corp fiat onramp/offramp example.
2022 is off to an interesting start!

To answer your question, what I've read about Lightning it sounded convoluted. The need to have a watcher keeping a channel open, invoices, just seems overly complex. I have tried receiving sats from online Lightning faucets and that part was impressive.
Ethereum's L1 growth and improvements seem more logical to me.
Is there a good place to go to track the adoption of Lightning?
