Lightning payments are onion routed, like Tor traffic.
Still not close to the same. That's borrowed functions on one chain. Monero is triple encrypted. You crack one and you got no time left before the next chain flips the whole shebang.
It's not close to the same thing, but definitely not trackable 100%, and comparable levels of privacy. Having less elegant code doesn't change that. If you'd like, we can perform a test in which I make a lightning payment and you track it.
I don't think it's likely that an attacker can crack even your first layer of encryption in the time it takes for a transaction to propagate and settle.
You don't get it and i ain't here to explain what there already exists well made such for understanding.
