I would certainly like to see lightning on monero and I think I know a way to do it, though it's not pretty -- you'd have to make a bunch of presigned transactions for every block a txo "might" get mined in at an unknown point in the future.

But bitcoin is the better blockchain to build lightning because of its small block size. That's the only way I think is sensible for keeping a blockchain decentralized. Monero is garbage money because it is centrally controlled and designed to centralize further as usage increases. Blocks get bigger -> nodes get harder/more expensive to run -> regular folks stop doing it -> the rich control the network

Bitcoin is designed to last. Monero is designed to die fast.
