I cannot think of a practical reason why Segwit needs to be activated in LTC if the coin itself does not attract enough users to make it necessary. What if it becomes activated but nobody uses it? What good is it if it is not really that necessary?
Segwit is needed for Lightening network to work. Without it LN is crap.
The stupid thing is LTC is not hurting at all for transaction capacity and adding an offchain service to steal transaction fees from the onchain side is beyond stupid.
It's true purpose is to trick the BTC miners into supporting segwit so LN will work on BTC.
If LN is active on BTC, no one will use LTC at all , since LN offchain transactions will seem faster.
Example Groestlcoin activated segwit months ago, and LN has ignored them completly, LN only cares about BTC,
LN will let the rest of you rot once they have BTC.
LN is how the Banking cartels are going to take over crypto , and bring their fractional reserve shenanigans to the crypto world.
