Binance implemented the segwit native address on their plaform only after how many years it was launch on mainnet, so dont expect they will just implement LN on its early years.
As for CB, yes they have plan on it, we just dont know when.

Are you serious about this? Lightning is not the same as segwit. But the only reason Binance do not support segwit could be because of the money the exchange is making from bitcoin withdraw from the exchange and also because of the altcoins which some people thought are bitcoin but not bitcoin, they are only pegged with bitcoin. Yet both lightning network and segwit were implemented the same year:

The Lightning Network was originally envisioned in a whitepaper written by Joseph Poon and Tadge Dryja in 2015. Its testnet was released in May 2016 and, by January 2017, Lightning's first implementation – lnd – was released in its alpha stage.

Initially, most bitcoin transactions have not been able to use the upgrade. Segregated Witness was activated on 24 August 2017. The bitcoin price rose almost 50% in the week following SegWit's activation.

Lighting network was existing six months before segwit.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say that maybe it's because LN-related deposits/withdrawals simply doesn't have that much demand as of yet. Whether we like it or not, the crypto normie world barely uses LN, it's mostly the Bitcoin enthusiasts that are using LN as of today — in which the actual Bitcoin enthusiasts are only a very small percentage of total crypto exchange usage.

I don't really agree here. I think that if services and exchanges were to adopt the lightning network, more people would start using it especially now with many wallets (Exodus, Wallet of Satoshi, etc.) supporting it and making it easier to use. Who would want to pay 10-15$ extra for withdrawing their funds when they can do it for a couple of satoshis instead?

I perfectly agree with you OmegaStarScream. See how segwit adoption increased when more wallets and exchanges supported it to the point that more than 80% of bitcoin transactions are from segwit addresses. As more wallets and exchanges are supporting lightning network, more people will prefer it. But what I do not like about lightning network is node your node not your coin, most people are using custodial lightning network wallets.
