Actually, BTC LN was the latest addition to the toolbox. I started with BTC on-chain some time ago, then added Monero to the portfolio for increased privacy.

After that, a couple of years ago, I decided to try BTC LN (for speed, obviously, and also read that it provides increased privacy).

So, I decided to go non-custodial in LN too and started running my own LN node. And my conclusion: maybe BTC LN gives you more privacy than BTC on-chain, but still Monero rules in this part. :-) And it is a pain running your own LN node ...

Yes, exactly.

I don't dispute LN gives more privacy than Bitcoin on chain when used correctly. Only that it is doesn't give as much privacy as Monero in both quality and simplicity.

And LN will never be a complete Monero replacement by it's very nature (such as final settlement). All of them have tradeoffs.
