No it doesn't. Especially when hinging on that caveat "if used correctly" which most users won't.

Monero is just another trade off, like lightning/liquid, which you have no problem using. Except, unlike both, it doesn't compromise most major value props of Bitcoin. "I don't recommend keeping a lot of funds there" - Ok, just apply this same advice to Monero. Done.
Except is does... Because it's not Bitcoin...
I wonder why you "don't recommend keeping a lot of funds there". Could it be because Liquid/LN are different from Bitcoin? 🤔 You would think if they were the same thing you could keep your whole stack on them. Major differences.
Now you say "bro it's just trade offs" well then apply that same logic to Monero. Just trade offs. Don't keep a lot of funds on there. You don't have to jump thru mental gymnastics.
If used correctly is the exact same caveat if you're saying to hold bitcoin and use monero as a tool. It's the same thing except I don't have to expose myself to a shitcoin with security backed by a different hard forked algo every month.
The room for privacty error on Monero is drastically less than Bitcoin or Lightning. And is superior all things equal.
What are you exposed to? Short term price fluctuations that has the same volatility as Bitcoin?😂
Like you said yourself, don't keep large amounts. Virtually no difference. Every argument and caveat you have for using L2 you can apply to Monero you're just being irrational.
Hardforking every month is quite the exaggeration.
Lightning and Liquid hardfork too. But you'll do a mental triple twisting backflip to make it okay for them to do. 🤸♀️🧠✅
