not really
monero is based on same legacy tech. it doesnt improve tx throughput in any meaningful way.
Discussion
btw monero is on average slower to do two transactions than bitcoin, because transacted coins are locked for 10 confirmations.
You have to account fee per minute.
Bitcoin is faster with higher fees but with average to low fees Monero is faster per transaction.
The confirmation lock is a security feature.
Monero fees are like 2 cents and much easy to use in a sovereign manner VS LN - that's why almost everyone on Nostr is zapping with custodians
FCMP will enable L2s on Monero, so everything else you are saying won't be true very soon. Those L2s will also be built on an encrypted blockchain so will be better for privacy than building one on a transparent base.
