It does matter. The trace started by sending money to the perp and waiting for him to send it to an exchange, who they then contacted. They needed to see the transaction on the blockchain to know who to call. With lightning, they can't do that. They can't do step 2 -- the step where they watched the blockchain to see when the money moved, alerting them to check if it was sent to an exchange, who they could then get info from to find out whose account it entered. They wouldn't know it ever moved, or where, so they wouldn't know to call someone, or who to call.
