I just think they are still waiting for the demand before they implement it because there’s still few crypto hodlers use lightning network since complex than the L1 Bitcoin. The transaction fee and speed of Bitcoin is also back to normal so I guess this feature will not be in demand for now but I’m sure this network will be appreciated when Bitcoin mempool experience again another overload data just like what happened before.
Even if the demand is not there at the moment this seems like the perfect moment to implement it, not long ago the mempool was full of transaction due to the ordinals, and this happened when the market was relatively calm.
If this were to happen during the bull run the fee we will have to pay to get any transaction confirmed will grow dramatically, so any business which deals with bitcoin should adopt the LN now while they still have the time, otherwise once that demand appears it will be too late and the exchanges and casinos which adopted that technology earlier will have a massive advantage over their competitors.
The demand is there and if team implements this decision it will be welcomed by many as they will have more ease to deposit the funds through it and channel capacity has also increased to very high so not a much problem now for high rollers also as they can deposit through LN so will see how team responds to it.
