Fiat money hegemony over MoE is being shielded via sly tax obligations which impose undue compliance costs upon LN users. In most autocracies (under which 70% of humanity live Bitcoin/LN MoE is explicitly outlawed. This has resulted in very limited acceptance by merchants and use by consumers.

All this has resulted in Bitcoin becoming increasingly seen as, and primarily used as a speculative commodity, taxed and KYC-traced...as such it is of little to no threat to fiats power which is based upon its MoE hegemony.

If you do not understand why the legacy fiat operators have imposed this obstruction of Bitcoin MoE, you remain an ignorant slave to be farmed by them until death and beyond...
