Lightning in practice relies on LSPs or custodial wallets that can be KYC'ed or shut down. Same with ecash mints. When that happens monero is there for you.

I have not used a single custodial or LSP service since I started using LN. Its doesn't rely on LSPs. It relies on people creating a local outward network web. Central hubs don't lend themselves to routing efficiency due to sheer liquidity constraints.
