lightning: is not a standard protocol, bitcoin: is and safe-listed by browsers.

just change it

besides this there is also no reason for us to distinct between bitcoin and lightning payments, they are both bitcoin payments, its just a different delivery mechanism. lightning is just a way to move bitcoin faster and users shouldn't have to figure out the technical terminology and suffer from bad UX practices just so us geeks can split hairs

Unified QR codes allow adding LN invoices to bitcoin: URIs. https://bitcoinqr.dev

This is the move. Already implemented with most good wallets

wallets do it, most websites don’t use it it seems to me
