Why people are bitching around LNURL vs BOLT12 but ignore totally AMP and KEYSEND?

I just tested some AMP payment codes and worked really nice with quite good amount of LN apps.

Keysend also works wonderful.

The whole debate around LNURL and BOLT12 is quite useless. And putting them in the same bag is wrong. Are not the same and serve different purposes.

And both are necessary, don't get me wrong.

But in keysend requires you to put the IP form someone else’s node with zero privacy right?. AMP is unrelated to the discussion between LNURL and bolt12

No. Keysend is using only destination nodeID, not IP.

Only in case of private nodes, you need to provide also rout hints for a keysend payment. Othwerwise, anybody can send any amount of sats to any public LN node any time, without requiring any LN invoice.

Sorry I meant node Id which for public nodes is a lot of info. Yes I know.. in todays invoices we also have that problem.. would be good to find out a solution to that privacy leak

Use private channels with SCID alias on. No public channels. Once taproot channels come out that's even more privacy.

No. It's pubkey only. You can run your nose totally behind tor. Projects often run as tor-only by default.
