Even technical improvements to the Bitcoin protocol are viewed through the lens of "how will this help Lightning?" (Neutrino, eltoo, Segwit was heavily associated with LN due to the malleability fix, SIGHASH_NOINPUT: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0118.mediawiki, etc).

  • Neutrino has zero to do with Lightning
  • eltoo has zero to do with Bitcoin, there is no eltoo proposal for Bitcoin
  • Segwit doesn't only fix malleability (which was desirable for all contract systems, not just Lightning)
  • SIGHASH_NOINPUT has been suggested for use cases that are not Lightning

So, who is viewing protocol improvements only through a "how will this help Lightning" lens?
