Everyone: Lightning is a failure

This makes no sense to me because I don't even understand the criteria of saying it's a failure. Nobody even uses Bitcoin to make payments, that's not lightning's fault. And for the 1% of 1% who actually make any payments, lightning is the only L2 that exists and is the only one that actually works. We can call lightning a failure when we create a circular economy of Bitcoin where merchants accept it and people actually pay with it and then lightning doesn't work in such an economy. The only circular economy we have is white dudes posting tik tok videos of buying coffee in El Salvador and lightning seems to be working fine there.
