I honestly don't understand why that comparison.

My point is: you don't need a large balance on a node to be able to make many transactions, as long as you have transactions in both directions.

Plus isn't the 24 hour volume from your link, trading volume, not transaction volume?

Yes. It may not have been the best example indeed. Here's another one: I think a node with 1 BTC in LN can process 10 BTC per day in transactions (given the right circumstances). At 0.25% fee that would earn 25 mBTC fees per day. Seeing this numbers makes me think it's not very likely to happen any time soon though, 0.25% is very high, for my last transaction I paid about 0.01% in fee. And that fee is for all nodes involved in the route.
If you can earn 1 mBTC by transfaring 10 BTC per day though a node that holds 1 BTC, it's still a pretty good profit.
