No, it's not a privacy concern to know your money was sent where someone asked you to send it. No amount of contorted rationalizing will change that. It's unserious logic.
The routers receive encrypted packets that they decrypt to read plaintext amounts. That's a significant glaring structural leak unique to lightning that enables 3rd parties to collect valuable data about payments on the network that doesn't require knowledge of any transacting party's private keys. You can continue to try to reframe it as "but the packets are encrypted to ISPs" to distract maxis who don't know what they're talking about from the core issue with lightning's privacy model, but you're not going to fool anyone else. Only retarded maxis take you seriously because you make them feel better about their bags and biases.
On fees: if you use your own node your fees are guaranteed to blend in with the crowd. If you use Chainanalysis' node (or their LSP), you're cooked. I know it's hard to admit your arguments are silly when you made a whole cute website putting them on display.
Most of your solutions I've seen are unserious hackjobs, like your arguments. Most of your discussion points are built on contrived narratives that suit the maxi bag bias. I suggest rethinking how you approach the technology and you might find more success.
