In the ongoing scaling debate, I wonder why is the discussion focused solely on the block size.
To my understanding, decreasing the difficulty, either statically or dynamically, has the same effect, of increasing the transaction-confirmation rate.
I don't know if such a thing can be done with a soft work, but for those advocating a hard fork, why not a fork that decreases difficulty?
Can anyone enlighten me?

but if you lower diff and lets say you make from 10min 1min
you will have 10x more coin inflation.10min block is like it is , ETH have 16s blocks and carry like 120 000tx/day so timing is not that issue as inflation with block creation. ETH live with 16s block same as BTC with 10min
with LN it would not matter at all.
