-Supply schedule is 0.6 XMR/2minutes forever (percentage vs total supply is always falling closer to zero)
-Decentralized in terms of nodes and miners: https://monero.fail/map
-It's even less censorable than Bitcoin in the fact that miners can't even theoretically choose a specific user/transaction to target because of it's privacy
-No backdoors that anyone knows of, code is FOSS
-Hardforks like once a year or so, community consensus. If users didn't want it they obviously wouldn't be using it or would fork off (how the current community left previous coin to create Monero in first place)

-TX fees are usually less than a penny
-Depends in what way you are using lightning. The way most users use lightning (with custodians/LSPs) Monero has much better privacy. If you are using lightning in the most privacy protecting ways (running your own LN node, using blinded paths, BOLT12, etc) then they are roughly comparable. But the comparison is kind of apples/oranges because you're comparing on-chain vs L2 privacy. Monero will offer L2s not far down the road after FCMP upgrade that would be better to compare. Encrypted blockchain + L2 will always offer better privacy holistically.
-Monero privacy is definitely better than Liquid. Liquid doesn't hide sender/reciever or IP (hidden with Dandelion on Monero if you run your own node). Liquids transaction graph is fully visible even though it hides amounts. Liquid anonymity set is also abysmally tiny since no one uses it.
A few facts about Monero:
-Monero amounts and addresses are not visible on it's blockchain. It's weak spot is sender privacy (ring signatures). That will be resolved with FCMP upgrade changing the current ring size of 16 to 100million+
-Moneros amount and receiver privacy is zero-knowledge (not to be confused with ZK-snarks) amounts are completely hidden to observers and potential receivers could be any Monero user. Monero sender privacy is ZK within it's ring only.
-Monero uses Pedersen Commitments to hide amounts which are "perfectly hiding" meaning even a quantum computer cannot break it
-Quantum computers CAN break receiver/sender privacy if it knows your public address (not the one-time stealth addresses seen on chain, but the ones that start with 4 or 8). If you don't share your address publically, and only use quantum resistant channels like SimpleX/Signal, in-person, or mail, etc - Monero is quantum resistant right now (as far as privacy goes - not quantum resistant to forging fake coins)
