All complex systems that work evolved from simpler systems that worked.

This is why #Bitcoin Cash works and Lightning never will.
Actually, LN evolved from tabs, OTC trading and hawala. I think it's a great idea and a logical extension of simpler systems that worked, even on Bitcoin
(i.e. the payment channels Mike Hearn was working on years ago, before block size was even an issue). It just can't work on BTC, but don't throw out the baby with the bathwater.
