Well in that case Lightning isnt necessarily p2p either. The hops between you and someone else you are paying isn't your peer. Unless you're directly opening a channel with that person which, let's be real, isn't the case for the vast majority of these transactions.

Those other hops are systemically on the same level as you; they are equals/peers.

That's why I said not necessarily. Depends if you're using your own node.

No. You said that it depends if you have a direct channel, which is wrong. You don't need a direct channel; intermediate hops/nodes are also peers.

It does depend on if you controll a node in the first place, yes, ofcourse.

In that case the difference just seems pedantic
