Aw C’mon. Volume doesn’t increase the difficulty of tracking? I disagree. Every successful transaction doesn’t affirm the durability and resiliency of the network? I disagree.

In order for zapping even to be possible they had to create the Lightning Network on top of Bitcoin because otherwise the maximum frequency of Bitcoin transactions would have made zapping (and most small transactions) impossible. The Lightning Network opened up several known exploit vectors, so it didn't strengthen Bitcoin, it weakened it.
As far as tracking is concerned, you are talking about security through obscurity, which any security professional will tell you is a terrible approach.
Be careful who you listen to, and who is paying for what they’re saying.
That rhymes too!!! 😁
Terrible as it is, it works and increases the cost of tracking. It boils down to economics and the threshold that makes a person a target for limited resources. So im short, it always works for the majority.
Furthermore lightening brought Bitcoin into the currency realm, not entirely, but closer. Before lightening Bitcoin was just another security, completely unsuitable as a currency.
