Yeah, I wonder given the date of publishing why they'd ignore that data. Blockchain data is obviously accessible but perhaps they had trouble getting lightning network data from that period.

Apparently they were dependent on a site called hashXP that stopped monitoring the Lightning Network in 2019.
We cannot extend our data set any later because, beyond these dates, hashXP was no longer actively monitoring the Lightning Network and providing accurate data. As a result, we are unable to study any more recent developments in the LN.
