What do you think will happen when the block reward subsidy is 1.5625 BTC in a little over 5 years?
Just like previous halving, some miner will stop their mining activity and sell hardware they no longer use while other's will continue mining with lower profit.
LN really hurts BTC in the not so distant future.
I think you're overestimating LN as scaling solution. People who rarely make transaction (usually investor and holder) wouldn't bother use LN, unless they're willing to "lock" their Bitcoin on LN channel.
