I still can run a private node on clearnet and you will have no idea about it.
Why?
Because is a damn private node.
A public node behind Tor is an oxymoron...

That's not the point and does not invalidate taproot tx to open and close public channels on LN to have indeed better privacy

I'm not sure what you mean. IIUC, public taproot channels have other, better marketable, use cases than privacy.
A public channel is gossiped to the lightning network. The gossip information contains the channel identifier. While LND's way of showing this identifier is somewhat non-human-readable, other implementations show the short channel id, which explicitly points out the funding transaction on the block chain. As you can see on different LN-explorers, gossip data is logged, so inferring what TX is an LN channel funding one is child's play - regardless of transaction type.

Of course one can see all that info from a public node but can't see how much liquidity is on each side of channels, but without taproot one can see the closure of those such channels and how much sats exactly goes to each side of two nodes of a channel. From what i understand with taproot that's not possible because closures of LN will be seen in the blockchain as any other onchain txs.

Given a funding transaction, you can always trace its descendants to see how the funds in that was split - and you can also see where the funds came from. I think that the privacy improvements for public channels are still just at the design phase. https://atlas21.com/taproot-ln-private-future-bitcoin/

how many times we have to repeat: public it doesn't mean private ?
FFS you do not understand english words?
