Definitely not stupidity, most people won’t know these ins and outs when they use it so consider yourself an early adopter! Lightning is real bitcoin - it’s a scaling layer that improves payment experience on top of the main chain. Lightning enables bitcoin to move at much faster speeds, more privately and (for everyday sized transactions) for low cost.
