The p2p part is the computer network of nodes, an onchain tx is not p2p; miners are not your peers.
Lightning however is p2p.
In any event, the point was TRUSTED third parties, not third parties to begin with.
Not entering the discussion or making any point, just clearing op the lingo
Well in that case Lightning isnt necessarily p2p either. The hops between you and someone else you are paying isn't your peer. Unless you're directly opening a channel with that person which, let's be real, isn't the case for the vast majority of these transactions.
Those other hops are systemically on the same level as you; they are equals/peers.
That's why I said not necessarily. Depends if you're using your own node.
