Bolt12 can't come fast enough. But LND continues to prioritize other things.

"The most common gripe people have with lnurl is the fact that an http server is required, and either a domain, or an extra tor hidden service.

With the introduction of bolt12, users can simply provide an offer that is served at their lightning address. This is a significant improvement in privacy, especially as bolt12 supports blinded paths.

Furthermore, bolt12 offers allow users to gain access to payment flows equivalent to lnurl-pay (without a lightning address) and lnurl-withdraw, without requiring any third party to host an http server, or provide a domain."

Lightning Labs has sunk alot of cost into their centralised lightning infrastructure, which Bolt12 disrupts. Hence, why they're not too excited about Bolt12 in LND.
