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.

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.
In the much longer run, yes. There's no reason they need more than block rewards now and in the near future.

And no, LN doesn't work at all beyond a small coterie of fools like, apparently, yourself, who are willing to use custodial, centralized networks.
You've bought the BTC bullshit hook like and sinker and are mad that you got played. Well grow up and get fucked. Do your due diligence instead of absorbing everything you see on social media.

Block rewards head towards 0.
The chain is already gigabytes large, and doubling capacity decreases nodes.
You're ignoring half of what crypto is because you want 0 fees
