I won't argue against that. If you know what you're doing you can have strong privacy on Lightning.
I wouldn't recommend it to the average user though because of what is required.
Because of it's horrid UX in practice 90% aren't using Lightning privately. They're using custodians like Wallet of Satoshi, or to a lesser degree LSPs like ACINQ with Phoenix, that can surveil them.
Defaults and simplicity go a long way. And I don't even think Monero is particularly great in that regard, but relative to privacy with Lightning it is.
When the improvements in the next 5 years come to Lightning, and it gets more adoption, I'll reevaluate again
