LN with hidden service hosting is more private than Monero.
No trace of the transactions ever get published. It is impossible to discover what payments happened between channel open and close.
Arguments about inflationary payment instruments is irrelevant. You simply wouldn't stack an asset that decays like food. And no sane society has ever existed where such perishable money was continued to be used once better, durables were available.
Tobacco is money in prison. But money is mostly banned in prisons.
Monero only adds obfuscation. Ring signatures are not encryption. They are not conceptually distant from utxo and coin join. There is no homomorphic encrypted visible utxo sizes.
Lightning on a mixnet, however, is private, without compromising supply auditability.
