I think lightning for everyday payments gives us "enough" privacy. If you are buying something illegal it might be better to trade some BTC for XMR for that trade at this point in time. I don't think it will work out well for monero in the long run. As Bitcoin adopts more privacy tools it won't make sense to hold anything else.
Just because BTC has become mainstream and there are a bunch of influencoor moon boiz, doesn't mean that bitcoin can't have cypher punks. Kinda like how fiat money has bank accounts yielding interest, it also has cash that you can transact privately p2p.
