Lightning simply for payments is currently not happening
everyone prefers to use onchain. But it will happen for something else, another form of utility for users.
Do you have anything to back these statements? Arguments and / or sources?
Nothing definite, but do we see the many people in the community stop using onchain payments, and start using the Lightning Network? Have we seen a surge in adoption of Lightning payments that’s noticeable? Have we seen exchanges start adopting Lightning, instead of listing more “faster” shitcoins?

As part of everyone, I confess that it's been a long time since I made an on-chain transaction for purchasing something. I only purchase lightning-ly. So, I question your statement. I'd actually say that lots are already using the lightning network for payments, even if it doesn't cost
that much to pay on-chain. It's cheaper, faster and more convenient.
What services/merchants do you Lightning for, and how much of Lightning was used for those services/merchants compared to onchain payments and shitcoins?
Lightning will realize its utility, but I believe it might not be for faster/cheaper payments.
