BTC is intentionally hamstrung so that it cannot function properly. This is the result of the state's co-opting of the project circa 2017. You can see the crippling of BTC in real time with the link, juxtaposing it versus how actual Bitcoin functions.
Miners are already being paid with block rewards. They don't need anything more right now. Once adoption is high enough they will make plenty even with tiny fees. That is and always was the plan for Bitcoin. Why? Because it's supposed to be currency, money, cash, and cash that literally disintegrates for no good reason at all as you hand it over a counter or to a friend or a business partner is absolutely terrible. You can't be a currency and do that.
LN is a hub-and-spoke vaporware pet project that loses every important property of Bitcoin. If you're forced to use LN, that's just further evidence BTC is coopted.

"Paying the miners" is part of any crypto's function. BTC is THE most secure blockchain, and paying the miners is part of the reason.
You're only looking at it from a spender's point of view.
Further, tx fees on LN - waaaay more private than bch - are near 0 and instant.
