Bisq and robosats are DNMs because they are marketplaces on the darknet. They compete directly with other DNMs on products such as cash parcels, gift cards, and currency swaps.
as I said this is misleading. your point is that lightning transactions were implemented for privacy. but bitcoin on-chain transactions on bisq were available all the time. were is the point? bisq and robosats are exchanges run over tor where you can exchange fiat (bank transfer, vouchers) to bitcoin. the classic darknet markets are selling goods for monero, rarely bitcoin (lack of privacy). they are not exchanging fiat to bitcoin. that's a huge difference.

I don't think that is why bisq implemented it, I think it is a side effect
the classic darknet markets are selling goods for monero
Many of the same goods sold on other DNMs are also sold on bisq and robosats. Namely, gift cards and cash parcels. The most popular item on silk road 2.0 was Tesco vouchers, not drugs
they are not exchanging fiat to bitcoin
Cash parcels are among the most common things I see on DNMs and that is a form of converting fiat to bitcoin and vice versa
Offers to do crypto swaps are also super common on DNMs
