Staying anonymous is just a general major benefit of transacting Bitcoin on chain
Eh, I don't agree, Bitcoin is literally a public ledger. I think it's just a misconception that Bitcoin = anonymous. If you have good opsec you can be more anonymous, but that is the case with everything, not just Bitcoin.
IMO the Lightning Network is already better than Google pay, Paypal, Venmo, Apply Pay, etc, it just hasn't reached critical mass. If/When it does it'll be great.

I actually agree with you to an extent. However, the part that makes it not better is that setting up a node is complicated for an average small business owner and I can see the issue of not being able to find a route becoming a problem too. Those are what make it not so great in comparison. Cashapp/Google pay/ect, never have the routing issues.
