I would probably agree with you if most UTXOs were used p2p and not purchased through centralized KYC exchanges where they can very efficiently track history. And a lot of UTXOs don’t move a lot. So it’s not as hard to track those either. I don’t think lightning does large transactions maybe 10,000,000 sats max I don’t think most channels have that type of liquidity. Most are smaller at 10M sats isn’t really “large” maybe medium.

Large is certainly subjective.

But even 2million sat channels probably cover almost all purchases. It’s rare that the average person in the world is spending over 1 million sats on a single item. Most transactions are probably less than 100k sats. I usually open 2 mil sat channels for that reason. If I have to make a bigger purchase I just do it onchain.

Yes but channel size/liquidit it is still a limitation that Monero does not have and if you revert to onchain bitcoin you have no real privacy which the post was about maintaining privacy.
